Philosophical Weightlifting Podcast

Ep. 279: The Science of Competition Coaching | Chris Taber, PhD


Listen Later

You're in the backroom with your athlete and they just smoked their opener. As they walk off the stage, you need to figure out how many kilos to bump up. Is there a science to attempt selection? Is it all based on intuition? Is it both?


In this episode, Chris details his recent work examining the jumps elite weightlifters take in competition and how that relates to their probability of success. Along the way we also talk some philosophy and examine the concept of free will.


Enjoy.
