Jim Horner volunteers for both Weightlifting Wales and Strength Academy Wales.
He is a retired International competitive Powerlifter, although he still trains regularly and still lifts some impressive weights. He is a level two Weightlifting coach, a Para Powerlifting coach and recently qualified as an International Para Powerlifting Official at the World Powerlifting Cup in Hungary.
Jim coaches voluntarily three times per week at Strength Academy Wales, helping any member at the centre, Weightlifters, Powerlifters, Para Powerlifters, sports people and anyone else who wants to train.
He has coached at a number of National Weightlifting competitions and was part of the Welsh coaching team at the World Cup Championships, Eger, Hungary. He helps out at grass root level events. Jim also plans / writes training programmes for a number of the Welsh Para Powerlifting team.
His experience, knowledge and ability to communicate and motivate lifters has been a real assist and always appreciated.
