Coaches and Staff

  • Joshua Gibson

    M.S., CSCS, USAW National Coach

    Head Coach

    I have been involved in weightlifting and powerlifting for over a decade as a coach, athlete, and educational resource. During those ten years, I have produced National medalists in both sports and coached athletes ranging from complete beginners to national record holders.

    Alongside my coaching in the USAPL and USPA, over the last two years, I have been the strength coach for a high school in Morgantown, West Virginia. During that time, I’ve worked with numerous athletic teams and hundreds of athletes.

    I hold a Master’s degree in Applied Sport Science and Coach Education, with a Bachelor’s in Exercise Science. I am pursuing a PhD at West Virginia University, where my focus is Applied Sport Science and my research pertains to isometric maximal strength testing.
