I just turned 19 years old, i'm in the DFW area in Texas right now just messing around in my commercial gym with olympic lifts but I feel like i have some potential and want to find an actual club/coach to train at. I've already done some powerlifting meets in the past so I have a strength base and weightlifting seems like something that would suit me more and that i'm more interested in. However I don't want to go to any basic nooby classes or crossfit classes, I want to find an actual legit coach or club for olympic lifting cause i'm very serious about competing in the future and I don't wanna waste any time.
If any Texas brah's or anyone can point me in a good direction that would be great, i've been scouring the usa weightlifting site but most of the clubs are crappy crossfit gyms and aren't focused on olympic lifting.

Depending on where you're at in DFW, there's Spoon Barbell in Richardson. You can look them up. Richard Flemming is the main coach there, and he's trained Chad Vaughn. In Fort Worth, there's Black Box run and coached by Dutch Lowy, very good guy and knows his stuff. He learned from Richard Flemming. There are a few other crossfit boxes that have very good coaches running their weightlifting programs, too. I used to train out of Spoon and know a lot of the lifters and coaches in the area, although a few are newer.

Richardson won't be too far for you, so that's where I would start. I trained with Spoon for almost 10 years before moving out to AZ.
In Frisco, there's a Crossfit box where Caleb Ward trains/coaches also, but don't remember the name of it. Might be a bit expensive, though.Training log: http://forum.bodybuilding.com/showthread.php?t=168969133
