Competition Skills Workshop

Hey Guys,

Just a reminder that we need to hear back by next week who is planning on attending this workshop. I have 7 yeses so far so those of you who have already advised you are coming please disregard this email:).

The Auckland Sport Climbing Club is planning a Competition Skills Workshop the Sunday before the National Climbing Competition which will be held in Rotorua the following weekend. This workshop will be facilitated by Carmilla Ansin (CNZ Youth Team Head Coach) and Matt Cloonan (ASC Head Coach) will also be in attendance. We may have another facilitator depending on the numbers.

The workshop will help prepare athletes to cope better with the competition environment by covering the following topics:

What to remember / bring for days at competitions
When and what to eat
Reading the timetable and climbing order (start lists) and planning to warm up at the right time
Knowing who the key officials are and who to go to for what
Key rules to understand that commonly catch climbers out
Dos and don’ts for isolation
Strategies for qualifying climbs vs finals
Mental strategies for reading the climbs
Keeping focused on the time throughout the day
Supporting other team members

Workshop details:

Sunday 13th September from 1:00 until 3:00pm (please be punctual)
Extreme Edge Panmure
Cost is $30 per person
Open to all ASC club members who wish to attend (workshop limited to 15 places)

Please advise if you would like to attend before Friday 4th September and I will send through an invoice.

Thanks,
