Taped Tips | Connect the Dots: Where Climbers (and Coaches) are Going Wrong
Listen now
Description
There’s more information out there than ever. When I first started Power Company Climbing, there were very few training blogs, no training podcasts for climbers, maybe one other remote climbing coach, and honestly, very few reputable sources for information on how to improve.  That lack of information, or of people willing to offer advice, is certainly no longer the case. It’s quite the opposite now. There’s SO MUCH out there to wade through, never mind spending time to parse it out, verify the claims made, and think critically about the applicability of it. There are hundreds, maybe thousands of internet coaches, dozens of podcasts all doing the same interviews about the same topics, and millions of posts and videos telling you exactly how to train.  That’s the root of our problem. But the problem itself? That’s us – and how we collect these things.  We have become collectors – rather than connectors – of dots.   Watch this episode on YouTube.
