In the episode, Coach Alex and I tackled the topic of making a gym session really count, and how to stay in a positive mindset even when you\u2019re having a bad session. It\u2019s easy to get derailed in your climbing session if you do poorly on a route, can\u2019t make move, or just feel tired in general and lack motivation.
We talk about things you can do to keep your motivation high and to make small wins in your sessions. She provides drills and exercises you can use to keep yourself in a growth mindset as opposed to a fixed mindset, and we talk about what those things are.
Alex is about to start her next 6-week Team Training Program with 12 team members, and this is the most hands-on way to work with Alex. If you\u2019re interested in being part of her next cohort, you can sign up\xa0here. Earlybird sign-ups end Wednesday, September 15th, 2021 and there are only a handful of spots left!
