We are Kentucky's Elite Youth Weightlifting Team, ODC Barbell. Since 2017, we have collected over 50 National Medals in both youth and open categories along with 6 Youth National Champions while shattering over 30 state records. We have put athletes on the USA National Team in 3 different international competitions and have collected 6 international medals so far.
Our goal at ODC Barbell is to not only dominate in weightlifting but to also dominate in the classroom. We are a non-profit weightlifting club with an after school program intended to help children in our community not only get stronger, but to also excel academically. There is a direct positive correlation between exercise and brain stimulation, it has been shown physical fitness may improve academic performance. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/NBK201501/ Our dream is for ODC Barbell to be everyone's favorite place where they feel safe, comfortable, challenged for greatness, and part of a family. We want others from the community to want to become part of ODC Barbell. We would act as a guide for lost youth to get back on track in school and find something they can be passionate about and have a future in.
