We are a training site for three national governing bodies (NGB). We have contracts with USA Weightlifting (USAW), American Canoe Association (ACA), USA Bobsled and Skeleton (USABS), and USA Powerlifting (USAPL).
We have resident athletes in USA Weightlifting and USA Powerlifting who live here in Johnson City and receive scholarships for school. Currently, most are developmental athletes shooting for national competitions. Our weightlifting coaches are Dr. Satoshi Mizuguchi, Mark South and Dylan Suarez. Our powerlifting coaches are Dr. Caleb Bazyler and PhD student, Kyle Travis. We have 13 weightlifters and 1 powerlifter on scholarships. Find out how to try-out for weightlifting here, and team policies here. Powerlifting info can be found through contacting ETSU Powerlifting.
We also have non-resident athletes that come in periodically for testing, monitoring and strength and conditioning programs from ACA and USABS. Obviously, we don’t have water or ice so their skill training is done in Charlotte NC (National Whitewater Center) for USACK, and Lake Placid (USOC, winter division) for USABS. Dr. Brad DeWeese is their strength and conditioning coach.
