World Cup PRO Coaches Amateur on HARD Moves ​⁠

[@matteobecchi1210]

In this video Emil emerges as a very good coach, with a great understanding of body position and movements. I think we don't often see this side of him, I really liked it!

[@hannahmorrisbouldering]

Definitely! Really insightful stuff from Emil and I know Nathan found his analysis really useful!

[@stephenreed7214]

He seems to have been refining his communication as well to where it feels more player/climber centered. "we want to do ____" "If you're able to do this, you might find ____" "If you want to, do this may ___". So he leaves it more up to the climber and then tells him he believes in him. Yes, great climbing insight, but his communication was so good. It seems he's clearly been working on it.

[@OliverBatchelor]

I agree, this sounds a bit critical but I find this kind of coaching video a lot more informative than other more self-reflection-type videos of his! Not that those are bad, but this was superb.

[@NathanBetts]

He's incredibly analytical - definitely obsessed with understanding the details.

[@eurekaflows]

MORE videos where Nathan gets instructed! Hannah, as a tall climber, let me tell you how frustrating it is to see 100,000 frikkin videos on "how to climb if you're short", but basically nonexistent content for taller climbers. You'll be tapping into a huge market. Us tall climbers do our fair share of suffering: sit starts and fitting in small boxes! CAPITALIZE ON THIS!

[@NathanBetts]

🤝 we NEED a sit-start coaching manual

[@BrainSpecialist]

just reach up

Emil is a flipping amazing coach. Really patient , encouraging and so knowledgeable. Watching nathan progess on the moves he struggled with at the start was awesome

[@NathanBetts]

I would 100% have walked away from those moves without Emil!

[@ST-vt4nu]

You're right about small wins. Most sessions I walk away having not topped a single new boulder that is close to my limit. But if I've overcome one move that scared me before or that I couldn't figure out that's a win. Its also a win if I tried something new, like I was trying crimpy slabs yesterday that I didn't think I would get anywhere on, but now realized I should be physically able to do, though I find them mentally a bit too scary. My toplogger grade might be static atm, but I'm still improving! And more importantly: I am having fun. Fear is the thing I struggle with most and if it wasn't there I could easily climb a lot of the 6A's in my gym and try hard on harder grades. Do you have any plans on making a video about fear and these mental barriers that can hold you back? Mostly get scared to commit because I don't want to hurt myself, even though the chance of that is pretty small. It's been half a year and I'm less scared than when I started, but it still gets me quite often. Especially as short climber, where a lot moves are a bit more reachy and dynamic for me. If you already have a video that could be useful for this please let me know! Your videos have been really helpful and a joy to watch.

Again, still very weird seeing Emil be “short”. Nathan is definitely much stronger than he thinks. Dialed that boulder down and at the end it looked so natural. Push him some more!

[@NathanBetts]

😅

[@robertcreer8826]

Always learn something from these videos. Cool to see that Emil has watched your other videos. Wish I was going to Innsbruck too.

[@dargly]

Emil, Hannah and Nathan are always a good video :)

[@drjamesducker]

love the vid! tall-ish climber here (6'2), would love to see more of Nathan - any drills he finds useful, ways to think around hard betas for taller people!

[@hannahmorrisbouldering]

Noted! Would be great to have more tall tips on the channel 🥰

[@drjamesducker]

@@hannahmorrisbouldering that would be amazing! PS youre doing amazing work and its been lovely following your videos, I am sure we will see your 10k and 100k subscribers soon with such great quality 🥳

[@ScratchRick]

Wow, Emil is a great coach! Its also nice seeing more of Nathan 😀we are looking forward to your US road trip!

[@NathanBetts]

Thanks guys

[@ScratchRick]

@@NathanBetts Absolutely! Please let us know when you plan out your trip, we'd love to see you guys in person! It'd be a dream come true!

[@ryangross5446]

Perfect morning climbing video! Loved watching the guys attempt this boulder! It looked fun and I want to try it as well now

[@hannahmorrisbouldering]

Glad you enjoyed it. It looked like a really fun project ☺️

[@EllaClarke-ht3vb]

Really liked this video Hannah! 🤩 great to see Nathan climbing on the channel 😊. Thank you! Looking forward to the next one 😃❤️

[@hannahmorrisbouldering]

Yay! Thank you!

[@MiguelClimbs]

Great vid Hannah! I agree with the others on here, we need more Nathan! I know you're reading this dude 😉. Emil is freaking awesome too. Can't wait to hear your guys' Innsbruck updates!

[@NathanBetts]

[@Sara-fx3yl]

My boyfriend gifted me your merch for my birthday and the shirt is amazing! Love your content; it always makes me smile!

[@hannahmorrisbouldering]

Happy birthday!! Hope you loved the shirt and thanks so much for watching!

[@GrundkursBouldern]

Hannah and Nathan, did Emil ever address Nathan‘s hip movement - or the potential lack of it - during that Session? I know he is aware of it, because he already talked in one of his videos about how important proper positioning is in dynamic climbing. Maybe it didn’t make it into the final cut, but I think it is a crucial point. Watching every try multiple times I noticed, that the best ones where always those, in which Nathan started his move by moving his hips forward and into the wall before moving up. On other occasions he seemed to just go straight up to the hold with little hip engagement, having a harder time to catch the hold. I really wonder, if Nathan could have gotten closer to doing the move, if they worked a little more on this, because it always looked like there was potential for improvement. It could have bought him more time to engage on the hold and to kill the momentum, maybe even press up a little on the right hand. Considering how close he was to sticking the move, this could have made all the difference. Anyways, I really enjoyed the video. Emil not being shy to at least try unconventional solutions is something everybody should adopt. „Might be like the best beta ever. You never know…“ So true!

[@DomJC1992]

Loved the summary/pep talk at the end!

[@chewedsausage4176]

I think what holds most people back in their training is actually committing to getting it done. So many people pull on and say "ahh its not my style, ahh its too this or too that" get the hell on it and dont stop till its done or you are. Climbing in particular suffers from this as most people start it as an "activity" instead of training. Get that gym mentality. Focus. Persevere. Things will happen.

[@milkymat]

Repping the tall climber advice, loving this

[@Lazy_Eight]

It is impressive how good Emil seems to pick up the smallest adjustments to improve climbing. Also, was their a hint about marriage hidden in this video? Enjoy your roadtrip.

[@koulmemaybe]

"Nathan and Swedish welcome climate meal shared a session" ok captions

[@Tarabulus]

Really nice pointers from Emil. Now I'd need something like this for maybe V2+ ;)

[@jakobpaal]

are you going to do some filming in Innsbruck as well? Would be cool to see you on some boulders of my home gym :D

[@hannahmorrisbouldering]

We would love to! Trying to figure out how we can best organise some filming time :)

[@NathanBetts]

I've heard it's a fantastic centre - looking forward to a session.

[@courtclimbs]

Yo, Nathan in the Drones 👀👀👀

[@PfropfNo1]

Why did he suggest to step on the left part of that foothold? To stop the barn door most efficiently, he should step on the right hand side, shouldn’t he?

[@bonefishboards]

Since I'm a V2 climber (but have guided wall routes in the valley) could I climb V4 after coaching?

[@ramonfw]

I was thinking the whole time "why doesn't he stick his left foot into that crack where he started from with both hands??" 😂

[@addohm]

Nice, an add into an add. Skip to 6:20.

[@londontennistube7625]

Heal hooking chips .

[@Dread.Pirate.Roberts]

Emil needs to come to the Netherlands if he thinks he is tall.

[@kirbyskillz6453]

This dude reminds me on magnus.

[@chiz161190]

4:16 That's what she said

[@hugo2171]

Keep your left foot on

[@ramonsantiago4573]

damn, oiler house

[@maxdilcon5679]

Hannah… at what point do you stop referring to yourself as an amateur. Last time I checked climbing for a living makes you a pro
