Who We Are
Catalyst Athletics was founded in 2006 by Greg Everett, who shortly after took over The Performance Menu journal, started in February 2005 with partners Robb & Nicki Wolf. Everett is the author of the books Olympic Weightlifting: A Complete Guide for Athletes & Coaches and Olympic Weightlifting for Sports, co-host of the Weightlifting Life Podcast, and publisher of The Performance Menu journal. He has coached over 40 national and international level lifters, including multiple national champions and national record holders, Pan Am and European Championships competitors and medalists, and World Championships competitors from multiple countries. He’s a USA Weightlifting International Coach, and was named 2021 Danish Coach of the Year—the first non-Danish coach to be awarded the honor. As an athlete, he is a fifth-place finisher at the USAW National Championships, masters national champion, masters American Open champion, and masters American record holder in the clean & jerk.
