Considering getting the SS coaching certification

[higgsadam74]

I am very interested, in pursing the SS coaching certification, I am currently working on my NLP. I have never learned how to do cleans, and currently would not be able to coach the movement. I am 47 years old, and have some stability issues with my left knee due to damage to my medial meniscus. My question is can the clean be learned well enough to coach the movement without actually being able to do it myself?

Probably not. But have you tried the clean and hurt your knee?

The last time I attempted cleans I went down with just an empty bar. This could have been bad form, due to trying to teach myself from videos and the blue book. I will be attending a seminar either in April or June either way.
