TBP 216 :: Hazel Findlay on Overcoming the Most Common Fears in Climbing

You may have heard me say that I've been doing some mental training coaching with Hazel Findlay this year to help with some fears and mental "blocks." Well, it's been so valuable working with her that I wanted to have her on the show to talk about some of the same things we've talked about in our sessions together. Hazel is a 33-year-old professional climber and mental training coach. She made a name for herself at a young age for her bold trad ascents, having been the first British female to send E9 (basically 5.13d but with death fall potential). She went on to be become the first British female to send 5.14b, and this year she did her first 5.14d (9a). She's also done a lot of big wall climbing, having done the 3rd ascent of Magic Line (5.14c R, 8c+, E10). About 7 years ago, she began coaching after completing 2 coaching programs, and she's been seeing clients ever since. This year she created an online program for climbers, which I took and highly recommend, called Strong Mind . And now, she's offering the Strong Mind Community , which is an ongoing learning experience for climbers all about mental training. I wanted to have her on the show to talk about some of the most common things she sees that are holding climbers back mentally. We discuss the ins and outs of fear of falling, fear of failure, and social fears, and how she helps people work through all of them. I hope you enjoy this episode as much as I did.
