Coaching Video: Managing the Fear of Falling

If you occasionally struggle with the fear of falling, then this video is for you!

Surely the fear of falling is most acute among beginner and intermediate climbers; however, even advanced climbers and the pros experience a bit of falling fear from time to time. The fact is…fear is an important self-protective response—the goal, then, isn’t to eliminate fear, but to manage fear…which is the focus of this video.

My Lithuanian friends, Dei and Ben, have created a series of excellent YouTube videos (called “Day in Nature“) with the common theme of exploring the fear of falling. I was happy to join Dei and Ben (and their YouTube channel viewers) for this online coaching session, in which I answer their fear-related questions and share a variety of mental training tips to better manage fear and advance their climbing ability. I trust you’ll find Dei and Ben’s passion for climbing as contagious as I do…and, of course, I hope you’ll discover some nuggets of “gold” that address your unique vertical-world concerns and fearful experiences.

Ultimately, learning to expertly manage fear is a long-term endeavor—there are no quick fixes—and so I hope my nearly 1.5 hours of coaching in this video will help kick-start your journey to becoming a more confident, in-control, and courageous climber! For a more in-depth study of fear-management, improving concentration/focus, and other mental training techniques check out the books Maximum Climbing and MASTERMIND.
