CFNI: Coach Amie

Another in the CFNI Coaches Series ... I love Olympic lifting! When they are done right, I believe the Olympic lifts are some of the most romantic movements in sport: the synchronicity of preparation, complexity in motion, calmness, strength, explosion, power, grace, and coordination reveals itself, to me, as an artful expression. Coach Amie personifies all of these attributes with her Olympic lifts. She’s passionate about lifting heavy things; it’s obvious! I am a student of a select few crafts; however, watching Amie perform lift after lift during our photo shoot was an absolute masterclass in technique. She is a precise and focused technician with the barbell. As a coach, Amie’s style is positive and encouraging; she works with you to hone your skill in incremental pieces. I encourage you to attend one of her barbell classes to work on your lifting skills. It was a real privilege for me to be on the wrong side the lens, witnessing and capturing Amie’s preparation, focus, and execution of each lift. Oh yeah, she’s super nice, funny, has good taste in music, and has a great little family as well. Enjoy!
