Daniel Camargo is a 30-year veteran of Olympic Weightlifting. He learned the Snatch and Clean+Jerk at age 12 and has never left the sport. As an athlete Camargo represented the United States of America in nine international competitions and set three American Records (Junior). At 21 years old, which was his final competitive year, and weighing 83 kg (182.6 lbs.), Camargo lifted a 152.5 kg (334 lbs

.) American Record. Having been trained by some of the very best U.S. Coaches, Camargo is now, himself, a highly-regarded and sought-after coach. Camargo began his coaching career within a year after retiring from competing. As a head coach, he has produced several State, Collegiate and National Champions. Having successfully passed all requisite levels of coaching certifications, and meeting the requirement of athlete production as stipulated in the guidelines of USA Weightlifting, Camargo is currently a U.S. International Level Coach.

Camargo has been given several assignments by USA Weightlifting as a coach for Team USA- one of which was the job of Head Coach for the Junior World Championships, held in Russia in 2014. There he led the team for 14 days as USA’s best Junior athletes competed in the prestigious championship tournament. Owed not only to his experience and education but also his personality and style of coaching, Camargo is one of the well-known coaches in the sport of Olympic Weightlifting. He is also the owner of Oly Concepts near Orlando, FL, and actively coaches not only Weightlifters but CrossFit competitors as well. His gym is recognized as a USA Weightlifting Regional Training Center.

The breadth and depth of his knowledge of the sport is only eclipsed by his enthusiasm for it. Gym: www.olyconcepts.com

I learned Weightlifting at 13 years old, fell in love the first day. Quit every other sport I was playing. I’d wake up thinking about it. I spent days at school looking at the clock, waiting for class to end so I could run to the weight room. Late at night, I’d rehearse technique with a broomstick in front of a mirror.

As I progressed, I couldn’t wait for each competition. I daydreamed a lot about lifting. All I wanted was to spend every waking moment with a barbell.

Here I am years later, still feeling the exact same. Never fall out of love with Weightlifting.

My career started with Youth and Junior athletes only. I realized I couldn’t over complicate concepts or use complex cues. I had to learn how to simplify terms and keep instructions natural. Turns out it works for adults too - K.I.S.S.

“What is the one thing that makes a champion?” Love this question because I used to try and answer it in a single word. But I can’t. The answer is: a little of everything.

Champions don’t just have strength, or dedication, or a strong-mind, or programming, or coping skills, or a coach, or talent, or rest & recovery, or diet, or athletic maturity, or good technique, or stress management, or experience, or just lucky timing. They have all of these things.

We might make up for weaknesses here and there, but over time, athletes who work on all aspects of sport reach the top. So check your boxes athletes. There’s no magic. Every detail counts.
