Learn eight tips for climbing your best and preventing the punt!

One of the ironies of climbing performance outcomes is that as hard as you’ve physically trained in preparation, the outcome often hinges on the quality of your mental game.

The power point, here, is that when it comes down to the final days and hours leading up to an important climb, the keys to performing your best are largely mental!

While many athletes “shoot themselves in the foot” in any number of ways in the days or hours leading up to competition — or even during the sports event itself! — a well-coached and mentally apt and experienced individual will act in deliberate ways to set the stage for peak performance.

Towards this end, I’m going to detail 8 powerful tips — things you can do or not do — that will help set the stage for climbing your best when it counts most. The more of these items that you deliberately optimize, the better you’ll sort of stack the deck for performing your best when it counts.
