SportsEdTV Names Harvey Newton To Lead Weightlifting
Former U.S. Olympic and Team USA Coach Joins Miami-based network as Executive Director
Miami, Jan 4, 2019 - SportsEdTV has named Harvey Newton as Executive Director of Weightlifting
The former U.S Olympic and Team USA coach will lead in the development of all instructional content for the fast-growing online sports instruction network. Newton recently worked with SportsEdTV to develop its first series of videos, including HOW TO CLEAN & JERK and HOW TO SNATCH.
“Weightlifting is both a competitive sport and a foundational training activity for all other sports,” said SportsEdTV Co-Founder and Chairman, Robert Mazzucchelli. He added, “Our goal is to create – with Harvey Newton - a definitive video library covering all weightlifting techniques and exercises so that people can learn the sport from a world-class expert. We also want people to learn how to lift safely, so that all athletes, CrossFit participants, and strength coaches will have a learning resource they can access anytime and anyplace.”
“SportsEdTV is breaking new ground by offering world-class sports instruction in a free, high-quality video format,” said Harvey Newton. He added, “I have written books on weightlifting, and have coached at the highest levels of the sport, so the opportunity to share what I’ve learned over my years of coaching and studying the best lifters in the world is one I cannot turn down. The SportsEdTV team is dedicated to making sure that coaching details and proper lifting techniques are clearly communicated through the videos by using unique camera angles and graphics. Using SportsEdTV’ s global network, I want to encourage more people to lift, and most importantly, to learn how to lift safely and prevent injury. This network is a game-changer.”
