Abstract
Harvey Newton, who was team coach for USA Weightlifting in the 1984 Olympic Games, provides insights on how he learned about weightlifting technique. In particular, how he learned about the ‘double knee bend’ in pulling technique from his earliest mentor, Carl Miller, who shared his understanding about a scientific approach from coaches on a global basis. Harvey's development as an evidence-based practitioner was enhanced in a number of ways, including his continuing collaboration over many years with biomechanist John Garhammer who also shares insights in this article. Extracts from interviews with some of the coaches influenced by Harvey are also included.
