Just like the bodies of male and female athletes differ, so do their brains. Female athletes can harness their unique psychological characteristics to infuse their performances with mental strength. Tune into part two of the differences between male and female athletes, this time looking at the psychological side of gender discrepancies and what that looks like in action, at the link in our bio!

Your training is done. You’ve arrived at the rock. You’re ready to begin work on your spring project. Your body is ready—but is your mind?

Just because you can pull hard doesn't mean you can actually pull the climb together. That requires a team effort from the physical and mental side of the situation.

Find out how to summon your strength so your work actually pays off on your project in this episode of the Training for Climbing podcast. Listen at the link in our bio!
