The approach

The experience behind the plan

Performance coaching is built on DPT expertise, more than a decade of route setting, and more than a decade of coaching at an elite level, including youth athletes to national titles.

Included

What the coaching is built on

The foundation

The foundation is DPT expertise, more than a decade of route setting, and more than a decade of coaching at an elite level, including youth athletes to national titles. Clinic, setting, and elite coaching sit in the same conversation — tissue capacity, tactics, and the problem you want solved.

Strategy, not a template

The hour is built around your current cycle, not a generic template.

Strength that serves climbing

Fingers, pulling, hips, legs, and antagonist work sequenced so you gain capacity without torching recovery.

Oversight that fits the session

One 1-on-1 session for the training you are already doing. You leave with direction for this cycle, not a full custom program.

6-week training program

Coming soon

Not open for booking yet. When it opens, this is a coaching cycle: a Week 0 assessment, a plan review, then six training weeks with a written check-in each Monday.

  1. 01

    Week 0 assessment

    A 45-minute coaching assessment of joint health, tissue capacity, goals, and how you climb. This is not a physical therapy visit. No programming is written until this is done.

  2. 02

    You log the testing

    Complete and log the physical assessments so the plan is built from your actual capacity, not a template.

  3. 03

    Plan-review visit

    A 30-minute training-plan overview after assessment week to walk through the custom plan before you start the cycle.

  4. 04

    Six training weeks

    Done-for-you progression with a written check-in each Monday, plus biweekly live video check-ins.

After you book

What happens next

No mystery box. Calendar first, then the work that matches the offering you chose.

After you book a 1-on-1 session

  1. 01You’ll get a calendar confirmation and video link.
  2. 02Show up ready to move: space, webcam, shoes or tools you climb in, and the specific problem you want solved.
  3. 03You leave knowing what to train this cycle, what to drop, and how to stay healthy while doing it. This is not a full custom program.

Fit check

Is coaching the right path?

Good fit

  • You’re healthy enough to train and want performance, not clinical rehab
  • You have a concrete goal (grade, trip, comp) or a stubborn plateau
  • You want one session to sort what to train this cycle, what to drop, and how to stay healthy
  • You’re anywhere in the world — coaching isn’t limited to California

Better elsewhere

  • You currently need injury diagnosis or medical rehab (that’s physical therapy, and you need to be in California at the appointment)
  • You want a hands-on spotter in the gym every session
  • You’re looking for a one-off “secret exercise” without changing training habits

Injured and you'll be in California at the appointment? See physical therapy.
