Louis has to be one of the best teachers I've ever seen. Not even just in climbing, but in general.
-
Thanks for having me folks (and for the mega tips Louis!) Excited to get stuck into some more V8’s and unlock the try hard. 🎉
-
Louis, you are such a gem of a human. Thank you for always putting out great content, you really do help my climbing get better with your tips, I appreciate you!
-
Some of my favorite climbing videos feature Louis and Hannah - psyched for this!
-
You all experienced a phenomenon I've had over and over where my best attempts on single hard moves often come in full or partial send attempts vs in total isolation. I think there's something to climbing into a crux section that gets you into flow and also tenses your whole body - priming you for the hard move. So, maybe don't feel bad when you "regress" and can't do a move in isolation again. If you're learning the movement pattern, it's still helping you get ready for a send go!
-
Every time I watch a teaching video of yours, I just feel an urge to immediately catch the next plane to London and attend a class from you! Really brilliant coaching
-
It is always nice to see two of my favorite youtubers climbing together!
-
Having realistic expectations is so important! The thing that really unlocked projecting for me was watching Pete Whittaker project a climb and he literally started by just checking that he could actually hold each position, let alone move from one position to another. That really gave me the patience to work on things that would take more than one session for me to accomplish.
-
My biggest obstacle when first attempting harder climbs is my own self doubt. I often fail to give myself for credit for what I've accomplished, and I sell myself short of what I'm actually capable of. This video taught me that we all, as climbers, are far more capable than we give ourselves credit for, and with the right coaching, practice, and positive mentality, we can ascend past the grades that we're currently stuck in. Our minds hold us back more than our bodies.
-
Maybe the biggest value I'm deriving from the coaching videos I've watched so far, this one included, is the psychological reframe that Louis is consistently teaching. It can't be overstated how critical it is for climbing, and even more importantly, for life. Break things down, keep trying & analyzing, and don't let the negative self-talk get in the way <- I know I really would benefit if I were to master this approach. Thank you!!
-
This was so awesome. I think a lot of it can be philosophically complemented by Aidan Roberts' perspective on believing in the process over the result. Once it stops being about sending and starts being about learning the moves, experiencing the climb, trying hard, etc., I think the joy of climbing really starts to shine. This is especially true outdoors! Even just stopping to take in the views is a great way to remember that it's about the experience, not the result.
-
Best duo in the gym hands down!
-
I follow both Louis and Hanna. There is usually a lot of “tips and advice “ content presented very well, but this session was by far the most impactful for me. I cannot wait to try to apply it to my own projecting. I love how Hanna is growing over time and taking her audience with her on the journey. I agree with other comments here, Louis is a natural. The sessions with Anna Hazelnut were also so much fun. Thank You!
-
one of the best videos on the channel!!! i'd love to see another session with hannah on this channel working the next moves on the boulder
-
Enjoing these tips / coaching clips so much.! Thanks very much, Louis and Hannah :)
-
This is so amazing. Thank you Hannah and Louis, I think this is probably one of the best coaching videos I've seen out here on YouTube!
-
This video was amazing - loved watching Hannah work through the tips and then the recap at the end. Not only will I apply these to my own climbing projects, but (maybe more importantly) it gave me an idea of how I could help my child change his mindset about reading (which he struggles with immensely). Super Gracias!!
-
Always fun to see more of Louis coaching!
-
This is probably the most relevant climbing video I’ve seen so far. I’m right at the stage where I’m starting to do harder problems, and this is just what I needed. Thanks, Louis!!
-
This video. It is so helpful and informative. Hannah and Loius. Thank you !
