Technical and Tactical ability assessment for Richard Slocock:
Using video analysis and specialist computer software I videoed Richard climbing on 6 routes and 3 boulders. This footage I then bring home and analyse using a video analysis software program. I measure qualitative and quantitative factors of his climbing that are both objective (science backed ie. time to climb route) and subjective (using my own experience and sporting knowledge). I then condense the data in to a few select areas where Richard has positives and negatives so we can see where he is strong and where he needs to improve the most so we know where to focus his training in the future.
This assessment is repeated every 6-12 months and compared to the previous assessments to see if improvement has occurred.
