Prior to his appointment Dr. DeWeese served the United States Olympic Committee as the Head Sport Physiologist for the Winter Division at the Olympic Training Center in Lake Placid, New York. In this capacity, he was responsible for overseeing the physical preparation of athletes readying themselves for international competition. In addition to his coaching duties, Brad instituted a comprehensive athlete-monitoring program and sport science department, which sought to determine competitive readiness, individual athlete responses to training, and overtraining prevention. Through this work, he was able to refine and support existing thoughts on periodization strategies, speed development practices, weightlifting biomechanics, and talent identification strategies.
