Malta Weightlifting Association

During the past weekend, two coaches from the Malta Weightlifting Association have participated in the European Scientific Coaches Conference organized by the EWF held in Kosice, Slovakia. Throughout this conference, Matthew Camilleri and Rodmar Pulis attended several valuable seminars covering the latest technical developments, sport nutrition, physiology, biomechanics and functional training. In Slovakia the Maltese coaches also had the opportunity to share practices with other coaches from around Europe and understand better different coaching methodologies and philosophies endorsed around the continent. Furthermore, our coaches had the opportunity to discuss about future collaborations with other countries in different projects Such conferences are of invaluable importance for Weightlifting in Malta as such events contribute towards to continuous professional development of the Maltese coaches, enhance the quality of practice, improve athletes’ performance and most importantly, aid in promoting healthy habits among the Maltese population.
