Coaching

Powered by TOTALCOACHING.COM, “the most efficient health promotion tool on the web,” I offer an online monthly climbing coaching service to a small group of motivated and experienced clients who primarily are interested in improving their sport climbing and/or bouldering abilities and performances. Since beginning my online coaching service in 2008, I have coached more than 50 adult climbers of all ages and ability levels from all around the world. During this time, my knowledge of athletic training methodologies has grown exponentially.

Today, I continue to seek out and integrate the latest athletic training research into my coaching philosophy: I believe that almost anybody has the potential to improve his or her climbing ability, no matter how old you are or how long you’ve been climbing (and I am a living example of this). Having an informed coach to guide you along this path can be instrumental in achieving this success.

Please note that I do NOT teach people how to rock climb, nor do I offer rock climbing safety instruction. Please contact an AMGA-certified guiding service or guide if you’re interested in learning how to rock climb or improving your climbing safety skills.

TOTALCOACHING.COM allows us to work together to achieve your climbing goals, providing an easy and convenient way for you to record and track your climbing days, training workouts, nutritional data and more. Via this powerful online interface, we’ll work together to create a viable monthly climbing and training schedule. This plan includes a day-by-day schedule incorporating climbing-gym training, resistance/weight training, flexibility training, mental training and cardio training elements. Clients check off each workout as its completed, adding details and feedback as well as asking any questions. I review each client’s workouts every week, providing feedback and comments while also responding to any concerns and questions that might arise. Program changes are made on a monthly basis as appropriate.

I only accept a small number of clients at any given time in order to maximize the attention given to each client. Interested? Want more information? Please don’t hesitate to contact me to discuss if online climbing coaching is right for you, and if so, to add your name to the waiting list (current estimated waiting time for a space is 8 to 12 months).

Follow me here and on Twitter or Facebook for regular climbing training advice and relevant links.
