Top Tips and Training Advice from World Champion and Olympian, Natalia Grossman

[@pignatiusquercia6925]

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

[@roapcoaching917]

Haha! But did you see me falling on the v5 dyno?! 😂 thanks for watching!!

[@XLessThanZ]

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! 🇺🇸

[@roapcoaching917]

Yep, you never get to know the athletes from world cups. She’s a lovely human! Yes! Goooo USA!!! :) thanks for watching

[@Snariasdqwada]

Man i almost hate how good team USA has become in comp climbing 😂

[@higaski]

Natalia is one of my favorite climbers to watch. She always seems to genuinely enjoy herself even during stressful comps.

[@roapcoaching917]

And this is genuine too! So nice to see. Great attitude. Thank you so much for watching!

[@bobfrommars321]

Me, a V3 climber: yeah, you're right Natalia! Not winning a world cup final doesn't define me!

[@roapcoaching917]

Haha, see, very relatable! 😆 thanks for watching though 🙏

[@roapcoaching917]

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! ❤

[@danielchoi6958]

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?

[@pxr3423]

What a unique treat into the elusive mind of Natalia, especially as there's barely any non-comp Natalia content on KZbin. Also loved watching iron sharpen iron!!

[@roapcoaching917]

Haha!! True! Yeah, this was Natalia’s first KZbin video! First of many…thanks for watching!!

[@georgestone8099]

Never heard her speak until today ha

[@Sandkasten36]

It's so cool to see professional climbers being so genuine likeable und caring for others. Janja, Natalia, I don't care who wins, it feels so good seeing you having fun and enjoying what you're doing. There are lots of sports out there where I think: Do you even like what you're doing?

[@roapcoaching917]

Completely agree. We also love seeing the "supportive" mentality, which was shared this year in the gymnastics. Each athlete cheering one another on to push the sport and themselves. It was great to see a closer competition in Paris too, with the top 3 or 4 athletes being within 4-6 moves (in terms of points)!

[@Sandkasten36]

@@roapcoaching917 I cried with Brooke and Janja 😅 at the Olympics. Such a beautiful genuine moment

[@roapcoaching917]

☺️ so nice to hear!

[@AllegraClimbingPsychologist]

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 🙌💜

[@roapcoaching917]

Yeah, very cool. Will have a solid sports psych basis once she transitions! Thanks for watching

[@fabiopalma4429]

Natalia is one of my favorites! Superb strength and movement. Go Natalia!!

[@roapcoaching917]

Ahhh! She’s amazing yeah!!! Thanks for watching ❤️

[@MidLifeCrux]

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!

[@roapcoaching917]

Completely agree! A very wise head on relatively young shoulders. Great to see the transformation between worlds and the PanAms, showing how successful this mindset is! Thanks for watching

[@MikeW-md6gd]

Great chill session with two world class athletes. Now back to my V2s ...

[@roapcoaching917]

😆 same process for us all! Thank you so much for your support! 🤞 good luck with your training

[@runforrest86]

I feel like you are really finding your flow lately with your videos! This was one of my favs. Great chemistry between you and Natalia. Keep up the good work!

[@roapcoaching917]

Thank you so much! I’m sure it’ll take a fair while, but we appreciate it! Thanks for your support!

[@dveldhuizen5611]

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]

Agreed, so easy to allow the ego to take control. I think this advice is so important for performance. Firstly it reduces pressure, but also allows for a more enjoyable experience. Thanks for watching

[@dylanpark8241]

NATALIA THE CLIMBING GODDESS HAS ENTERED THE CHAT

[@roapcoaching917]

Hahahaha! She has! And she's reading these comments!

[@andysinclair7162]

This video gains some awesome context from Natalia’s recent win at Salt Lake City. Well deserved of course, and couldn’t imagine a nicer winner!!

[@roapcoaching917]

Absolutely, it gives a little more behind the scenes context. Thanks for watching!!

[@Captain-Jack-Climbing]

Just started watching it. But I need to give it a like first before watching. I immediately know this episode is so good because it's so good!

[@roapcoaching917]

Ahhh ❤️ thank you so much! Keep watching though, as we really enjoyed this one too! 😂 thanks for your support!

[@raymondpeterdelacruz4849]

Great job Everybody! The Q&A was insightful

[@roapcoaching917]

Ah, thank you, glad you liked it!! More sessions with her coming soon hopefully!

[@climbing_thomas]

that video was so cool! i never saw natalia outside of a comp, so it was cool to see her personality!

[@roapcoaching917]

Ah, thanks for watching and we completely agree. She's so down to earth, supportive and friendly. What a great mindset too!

[@RandallJones]

Awesome episode! Cool to see legends climbing at one of our favorite gyms!

[@roapcoaching917]

Yeah!!!! Great board set-up there and some fun blocs too! Thanks for watching, as always!

[@steffen1405]

NG, what a legend! Amazing climbing all around!

[@roapcoaching917]

Absolutely agree! Psyched to see her progress as an athlete as well! Thanks for watching!

[@jamescrews3516]

Ready for Natalia and Brooke to kick butt at the Olympics!! Go Team USA 🇺🇸!!

[@roapcoaching917]

Us too! Super excited

[@huginsamuelsen]

Two crushers and a British bloke making a board-climbing video, what's not to like :) Keep 'em comin'

[@roapcoaching917]

Haha, sounds like the start of a joke! Glad you enjoyed it and thanks for your support!!

[@schneesi]

What a nice video from Nathalia & Alex. With those smiles, climbing doesn't even look exhausting. 🤗☺️ I really enjoyed watching it.🩵

[@roapcoaching917]

Awwww, how lovely!! Thank you so much for watching and your support!

[@randomhoe40]

natalia is so cool!

[@roapcoaching917]

Very cool and an incredible climber too

[@KINGJEREMY6666]

Super impressive 💪🏽. So great to seen Natalia.

[@roapcoaching917]

Ahhh, we agree! Thanks for your support!!

[@HealingMushroom]

amazing Q&A and awesome to see them work the kilter

[@roapcoaching917]

Thank you so much. Yeah, an honest insight. Great to see Natalia and Alex try hard together too

[@HealingMushroom]

@@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

[@bonibroco1076]

It's 2am here now and I couldn't sleep so I turn on my tab to find something that will put me to sleep. Didn't go as planned. I'm fully awake now 😂

[@roapcoaching917]

Hahaha!! Sorry!! Thanks for watching! Now, get some sleep 😴

[@jonnes__4657]

🗽WOW, Natalia joins you today.... ♥ .

[@roapcoaching917]

Yes!!!! 🍀 for us! If you like it, we’ll see if we can do more whilst she’s in Boulder, Co! Thanks for watching

[@varya_klimova]

I want more videos with Natalia

[@roapcoaching917]

I think we can make this happen 😉Thanks for watching

[@OliviaWriting]

Omg I would’ve died if I saw Alex and Natalia at The Spot when I climbed there 😭

[@roapcoaching917]

You may see them again in one of the Denver gyms this week too! Thanks for watching

[@Aaron-xq6hv]

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.

[@roapcoaching917]

We can definitely get some TB2 sessions in. Maybe feature some Tension athletes too? We’ll see if we can climb with Janja in 2024! Watch this space! Thanks for watching

[@Aaron-xq6hv]

@@roapcoaching917 Some Tension athletes would be cool, even Will Anglin (assuming he'd even do it). I just love that board, yet there's not one within 300 miles of me so I need to live vicariously through this channel.

[@martinmaartensson]

I love that you have a bicycle parking in the gym! :D

[@roapcoaching917]

Bicycle clamps in the gym and on the wall @ 20:40 😉

[@martinmaartensson]

haha 😂

[@zzclimber]

I like Natalia

[@roapcoaching917]

What’s not to like! She’s hard working, articulate and so happy/friendly! Thanks for watching

When are you or Nataila going to visit the Wide Boyz cellar for some crack climbing training?

Haha!! @wideboyz we are coming to the UK for Christmas…will message Tom and Pete!

[@tyler5238]

That first orange one took me like 10 burns to get that dyno😂

[@roapcoaching917]

Good effort!!! Not as simple as it looks hey? Thanks for watching

[@bkim2]

I know they need no introduction, but for the sake of exposure, you need to add alex puccio and natalia grossman's names into the title!

[@roapcoaching917]

Perhaps we should! They are listed in our search criteria, but thanks for the feedback!

[@ivanasvobodova63]

I’ve never heard Natalia talk and I don’t know why but I expected much deeper voice.

[@roapcoaching917]

Haha! We’ll pass it on 😂 Thanks for watching

Thank you so much!!!

Come on 510, give the poor girl a new batch of climbing shoes 😅

[@roapcoaching917]

Haha, she has many, but only brought two pairs to Boulder (extended her stay)! Thanks for the concern though :) and for watching!!

[@Parkertheghost]

Was the cameraman standing on a balance board?

[@roapcoaching917]

Haha, the whole time!!! Sorry, we didn’t notice this and we were using a gimbal! Will try not to move in the future!

you should give the guy in the background a mic as well

Does anyone know what pants Natalia is wearing? They look very comfortable. Should do an advertisement for them.

Think they are Lululemon! Best pants for climbing
