Coaching another GB Paraclimber, Jo. By far the most experienced member of the GB Para team.
Jo has a below knee amputation and is classified as an RP3 climber. Myself and Jamie have only just began coaching her but a few major things have been highlighted to us already that need to be addressed.
Firstly she is has a very busy schedule and her nearest wall is a 45 minute drive away so we need to maximise her training in a way that gives her maximum benefit with the time she can commit. Secondly she has a few fairly major pre-exisiting injuries which need attention before any hard training can begin.
Our initial meeting between Jo and myself we conducted a technical and tactical assessment of her abilities on a few Top Rope climbs with videos taken and analysed at home on specialist software. This allowed me to analyse Jo's climbing in depth and with several replays so as to not miss any features that may be crucial to her future progress.
