“Every high school coach in the USA should read Greg Everett’s book, Olympic Weightlifting for Sports. Greg breaks down the Olympic lifts as well as their assistance exercises in a simple, understandable manner that even the coach untrained in weightlifting can use to teach their athletes.”
—Mike Burgener, USA Weightlifting Senior International Coach, Samson High School Strength & Conditioning Coach of the Year
"Greg's book, Olympic Weightlifting for Sports, is unique in that it is written from the perspective of a weightlifting coach. Although for years, it has been acknowledged that the Olympic lifts were beneficial in the enhancement of athletic performance, most of the material published on this topic has been written by coaches and authors from the strength and conditioning community. Greg's is one of the very few that provides a perspective on the lifts that can only be developed through years of coaching in the gym and carefully noting the changes in athleticism of his lifters. Coupled with a well thought out teaching progression for coaching the lifts, and a sound background of understanding the impact of these movements on the athlete's body is a layout and organization that is palatable to the many coaches anxious to incorporate these movements into the training regimens of their athletes. This should be on the shelf of every strength and conditioning coach anxious to perfect his or her craft."
—Bob Takano, USA Weightlifting Hall of Fame Coach
