Learn the mindset and a system for achieving the next level (in anything!)
Are you ready to rethink what’s possible in your climbing life? There’s a good chance that your perceived limit is actually a self-imposed imaginary boundary!
Once again this month, I present an episode of Training Cafe, my twice-monthly video Livestream coaching show on YouTube and Facebook live. The main topic delves into pursuing next-level projects…and the importance of challenging your inner fears of failure and criticism, just like pro climbers do.
Now is the time to think bigger…develop a system…and execute your plan with uncommon discipline!.
