Here is Special Olympics Athlete Matthew Herbert hitting a new Personal Record in the Snatch with 62 kilos. Matthew has Autism and at first we were unsure how he would pick up the Olympic Lifts. Matthew is an accomplished Powerlifter but Olympic Lifting is very different. Matthew learned a modified version of our Teaching Methodology and he has made consistent progress in both the Snatch and Clean & Jerk. To date Matt has Snatched 62 kilos and Clean & Jerked 81 kilos. Our next goal is to get Matt into a local meet and then work on qualifying for a National Level Competition down the road. With Matts desire to succeed and my unrelenting will not to give up on him or any athlete like Matt, well get there.
