Top Tips and Training Advice from World Champion and Olympian, Natalia Grossman
Спорт
World Champion and Paris 2024 Olympic climber, Natalia Grossman joins Alex Puccio for a climb and Q&A session at @thespotgym Denver
We come full-circle as Alex used to Coach Natalia when she was younger. Now the apprentice turns coach as she helps Alex through some jumps before they turn to the @KilterClimbingGrips Board for a power session.
Find out what Natalia does to warm-up, how she rests before a comp and her incredible approach to competitions, why she is smiling so much and how she can get in the zone ready to perform, despite there being expectations and pressure!
We hope you enjoy this session as much as we did.
A big thanks to @Natalia_grossman (Insta handle) and @thespotgym for allowing us to film and to the @panamsports channel for a few clips of Natalia qualifying for the 2024 Paris @Olympics

You make the climbs looks so chill then you say “this is a V10 at 45” and I remember how insane you guys are.

It's nice watching Nathalia in a fun, non-competitive, environment. She looked so relaxed. Nice to see a side of her other than what I see in IFSC competitions. GO TEAM USA! 🇺🇸

We hope you enjoy this episode as much as we had fun making it! Natalia is a superstar with such a level head for her age. We always climb with each other as she’s supportive, encouraging and positive! We are beyond psyched she’s made the Olympics and loved seeing her mindset when it comes to the games and comps in general! Thank you all for your support and for watching! ❤

Random question, is the cameraman the commentator for IFSC comps? I recognize the voice but I'm not 100% sure. Also, is Alex often the co-commentator?
I didn't know Natalia was studying psychology! Very cool to have her as a coworker! I'm very glad to see this sector growing 🙌💜

Really nice to hear such a healthy attitude about professional competition. The comment about just appreciating being at the comp really struck a nerve. My 20-something self didn’t have that kind of perspective. Thank you for sharing the session!

Great video! I think this is what separates the good from the greats. The greats have fun in what they do and Natalia is a great example of that. Its something I (a climber myself) struggle with sometimes. Especially in comps I get really upset after a competition that didnt go so well and get really stuck in my own head sometimes. Like Natalia said a comp doesnt define who you are and that really stuck with me. Keep up the great work creating this awesome content!

@@roapcoaching917 Absolutely! Keep the videos coming and I am sure your channel will blow up real quick :) Just one little critique: Try to mix and record the audio better. It is very different in each video and sometimes hard to understand. Cheers
Maybe next ....Janja? But on a more realistic note, I always see that Tension Board 2 right next to the Kilter Board, perhaps some videos on it would be nice.
