Rhod is a level 1 Weightlifting Coach here at the club. Rhod has been weightlifting for around 2 and half years but had backgrounds in other sports such as crossfit, rugby and rowing. Rhod has competed in Weightlifting to a high standard, already representing Wales on several occasions including the world youth championships and the commonwealth championships held in Malaysia.

 

Rhod also represented Great Britain at the European Youth championships in Poland last September (2016). When speaking to Rhod about his passion for weightlifting he stated; “I love weightlifting and coaching weightlifting because it's amazing to see development in the people around you, making new friends, training partners and gives you opportunities and experiences not many other sports give you.”

 

Rhod is our youngest Coach at only 18. A big part of his role at the club will involve coaching young people, and plans to link in with local schools and colleges to promote the sport to those who may not have otherwise had the opportunity to participate.
