How to Try Hard in Climbing Workshop
– With Kevin Roet –
Unlock your potential. Push your limits. Redefine your effort.
Every climber has heard the phrase “try harder!” — but what does it really mean?
Trying hard isn’t just about pulling harder on holds; it’s about engaging your mind, body, and focus to their fullest potential. In this unique and immersive workshop, we explore the psychology behind 100% effort — helping you access the mental and emotional gears that allow you to perform at your true limit.
Whether you’re plateauing at a certain grade, struggling to commit on the wall, or simply curious about what it feels like to give 100%. This workshop will give you the tools and mindset to push beyond what you thought was possible.
This workshop isn’t about shouting louder or trying recklessly — it’s about learning how to access your peak performance state, when and how to push.
In the How to Try Hard in Climbing Workshop you’ll learn to:
- Understand what “trying hard” really means — mentally, emotionally, and physically
- Identify the barriers that stop you from giving full effort
- Develop awareness and control over your physical and mental output
- Overcome mental barriers and self-limiting beliefs
- Access your optimal state for performance
- Build a mindset for sustained effort and consistency
Why Join This Workshop
Climbers often train strength, endurance, and technique — but rarely train the mind. This workshop helps you bridge that gap, giving you practical strategies to access maximum intensity safely and effectively, both in training and on real climbs.
Through a blend of mental performance coaching, guided drills, and discussion, you’ll learn how to find that elusive “try hard” mindset — and how to apply it to your own climbing.
