Follow-up over one term / a whole year

a longer follow-up (10-session term or year of 30 sessions)

To achieve your goals, we will explore different areas of progression in climbing:

- technique: understanding movements, gestures, foot placement, coordination - physical: developing physical skills specific to climbing such as strength, flexibility, endurance and your capacity to recover - tactics: reading routes, memorizing, visualizing, rhythm, relaxing… - mindset: combativeness, positive visualization, positive approach to failures, keeping lucid during ongoing effort…

Beyond climbing, we will discuss warm-up methods, muscle building, stretching/mobility, as well as mental training exercises to adapt into your daily life or your personal sessions.

To get an idea of our working methods:

Before the first session, we will establish a state of play of the situation via a questionnaire.

The first session (3 hours) will allow us to refine the diagnosis of your current level and the time to discuss your objectives. After the warm-up, we will carry out a performance simulation including a max level route and a max level route after a "short" work.

The rest of the sessions will be developed according to your needs and following the axes of progress mentioned above. Climbing being a complex sport, the different axes can be combined during the sessions. For example: working on relaxation and recovery capacities during "volume" sessions, combativeness and endurance during sessions in max levels, or strength and gestures during route work sessions.

Even if the themes of each session will be common, they will be individually oriented according to the level and needs of everyone.

We will regularly carry out performance simulations so that we can observe the progression and maintain a high level of motivation.

Composition of a 10-session term: 3 sessions of 3 hours (first session, mid-quarter session and last session) + 7 sessions of 2 hours

2 groups: EV3 Wednesday evenings or EV4 Thursday evenings (Dates and times below)
