Coaching climbing

Finally, here is the first comprehensive book designed for climbing coaches
and teachers and parents of young climbers. Coaching Climbing presents an
integrated approach to coaching, focusing on individualized evaluation and
training of climbers as the key to improving performance and maintaining
safety and enthusiasm.

It includes exercises for working on movement, training for competitions,
sensible physical conditioning, and injury prevention. Longtime climber and
author Michelle Hurni explains how to evaluate a climber’s skill level, set
goals that everyone can live with, and teach kids to ‹climb with the brain.›
She details dozens of games and activities designed to motivate young climbers
while teaching them proper movement and improving their technique.
Additionally, Hurni explains how to make a safe transition from climbing in a
gym to climbing in the outdoors.
