How to Coach YOURSELF and Actually Improve (4-Step Checklist) | Climbing w/ Dan

Hooper’s Beta Ep. 149

Introduction

👆 Since this is a technique video, I want to address one of the comments that comes up all the time which is:

“Yeah, yeah, technique. But that only works if you're super strong.”

Or:

“You have all these people who are strong and they're just kind of masking that by saying it's a technique thing.”

Yeah. Fair. But at the same time, no matter how strong you are, there's always more you can get out of it with technique.

➡️ It may seem at first like you're not getting the traction that you want and you just need to be stronger. But, I can't emphasize enough the merit of assuming that you're strong enough to do these moves.

***And with that in mind, think to yourself: “If I'm strong enough to do this, what am I missing?”***

That opens up so many doors and allows much faster learning than you would get really any other way.

So anyways, I see the argument, but I invite you to try this method and I think that you'll see a lot of benefit with it. 🤝

Background

We had the opportunity this time to actually go out to Hueco Tanks ourselves and U.S Olympian Jesse Grupper and I climbed the boulders that were submitted to us.

By walking through this checklist of cues, it will hopefully give you a really clear, real world opportunity to see how you can use these methods to improve your own climbing, but also the things that you can look for to get the most out of any footage that you might take and change a library of falls into valuable learning opportunities.
