Full Biography:

Hungarian Tamás Fehér is an internationally experienced weightlifting coach, who has demonstrated a significant ability to develop male and female weightlifting athletes and encourage them to the international level of competition in several countries.

In Norway he succesfully trained and managed the National male and female team, including double European champion, World class superheavy weight athlete, Stian Grimseteh (430 kg total).

In 2004 he was voted by the Board of the Hungarian Weightlifting Federation as the national male and female head coach. Because of some professional reason finally he did not accept the position.

Between 2005 and 2008 he served Hungarian Weightlifting as the president of the Hungarian Weightlifting Federation.

Since November of 2008 Feher is the Head coach of the British Olympic Weightlifting Team.

In El Salvador with few training resources and little organizational support, he was able to train a female weightlifter with such success that she won El Salvador’s only medals, a Bronze Medal at the Pan American Games (1999 Winnipeg, Canada), two medals at the University and College World Championships (Bronze in 1999 Chiba, Japan, and Silver in 2000, Montreal Canada) and 12th place at the Sydney’s Olympic Games (2000).

In addition his female athletes have established more than 50 new national records and became one of the best Latin American teams. When he coached both men and women for El Salvador in 1992-1994, the National male and female team, for the first time, won first place at the Central American Games (1994 San Salvador, El Salvador).

Fehér started his coach’s career at age 20 in Budapest, Hungary in one of the best weightlifting clubs in that nation. He moved in 1985 to re-create and manage a traditional Hungarian Weightlifting Club, and led successful male and female teams to several international medals.

He also worked as assistant coach of the Hungarian National Junior Male Team.

Fehér has published several texts on weightlifting, one of which, a 330-page comprehensive manual for coaches (Tamas Feher’s Olympic Weightlifting) was required reading at Budapest’s University of Physical Education. It provides information regarding anathomy and physiology, analysis of weightlifting, training exercises, weightlifting techniques, preparation systems for all age categories, etc. for intermediate and advanced athletes, how to prepare female athletes, etc. The English edition (foreworded by the IWF President, Dr. Tamas Ajan) was sold in 31 countries Worldwide so far.
