My name is Lazaros Tzioras. I am from Greece. For the last three years I am living in Plymouth , UK, studying Strength & Conditioning. I left my home with a dream of purchasing a quality education and gaining a different experience. During the year 2012-2013 I was very blessed to assist coach Rich Kite, owner of http://ukolympicweightlifting.co.uk/, in the Plymouth Performance Gym. I met great people and athletes, had the opportunity to work with both males and females of different levels and ages. The work of Rich was coninued from Paul Potter, and I was very lucky to assit him as well. They were completely different coaches, yet both of them very succesful, thus I picked up elements from both of them which developed my coaching ability. Apart from my passion for weightlifting, I love self defence systems and martial arts. I practise myself krav maga (Israeli self defence system) and Muy Thai. I was never a talented athlete in a specific sport, but I was good at multiple. This did not allow me to progress and become a professional athlete, yet it has given me a variety of sport background which will help me and fullfil my dream which is not anything less than BUILD athletes.
