Meet the coaches carrying on the Huszka legacy of Olympic weightlifting excellence.
Head Coach / USA Weightlifting Level 2
Attila Huszka grew up in competitive weightlifting, knows and loves the sport: his first competition meet was at age 12, won the National Junior Olympic championships at age 19, held Masters State and National weightlifting records for his age and weight division and placed 1st at the 2019 IWF World Masters Weightlifting Competition.
He has been instrumental in teaching weightlifting to hundreds of individuals for track and field, football, wrestling, competitive weightlifting and general strength training. Coach Attila trains true beginners that have never touched a barbell to high level competitive athletes.
Attila is a second generation passionate lifter and coach. His father and mentor Mihaly (Michael) Huszka competed in 2 Olympics, 3 world championships, awarded Grandmaster of the Century and was a US Olympic Weightlifting Coach.

Mirrya grew up playing a variety of sports (volleyball, basketball, and track) and showing horses competitively. She started weightlifting after meeting her husband Attila and has competed locally and at state level.
She is a certified USA Weightlifting (USAW) Level 2 coach. She loves working with beginners and youth, especially seeing the moment when the mind and body 'click' and success is achieved.
"I am most proud when a kid is able to hit their lifts on the platform. To witness their confidence and individual drive on display, knowing it translates to all facets of their lives."
