Don't Always Try to Perform:

Have a purpose for each session that isn't always about beating your personal best. Sometimes training through fatigue or focusing on specific goals is productive.

Arcing and Low Aerobic Work:

Incorporate easy climbing (arcing) to build aerobic endurance, which helps with recovery on holds and between attempts, especially important for sport climbing.

Get the Little Things Right:

Pay attention to hydration, chalk type, and appropriate clothing layers to improve comfort and performance.

Body Tension:

Focus on driving through your feet and maintaining body tension, not just core strength, to improve efficiency and control near your limit.

Track Your Progress:

Keep a training log or diary to monitor long-term progress, which helps maintain confidence and see improvements beyond short-term fluctuations.\

Train the Boring Things:

Don't neglect shoulder stability and flexibility, as these can make a big difference in climbing performance and injury prevention.

Break Down Bigger Goals:

Divide big goals into smaller, manageable chunks to stay motivated and track progress more easily.

Maintain Training During Performance Phases:

Continue some training during peak climbing seasons to avoid burnout and maintain top-end fitness.

Go to the Wall with a Plan:

Have a clear goal or structure for each session to stay focused and motivated, whether it's trying a set number of problems or focusing on project attempts.

Climb Different Styles:

Climbing a variety of styles and routes helps you learn new techniques, balance your strengths and weaknesses, and improve longevity as a climber.
