Deep and powerful positive change for climbing for life
Imagine the mindset and drive it takes to climb some of the hardest boldest routes in the world What if you could harness that same passion and knowledge to inspire and educate others Well Strong Mind s founders have nailed it Performance Hacks is a work of art and work of science It is rich in knowledge and beautifully structured The course offers a variety of content formats including videos diagrams and text catering to different learning preferences It features concise and impactful articles links to in-depth research for those who crave maximum information and practical sessions that allow you to apply what you ve learned The Strong Mind team expertly arranged a wide range of topics into neat chapters each one building on the next The material was extensive yet the sense of direction always felt clear The content of the course prompted deep reflection and thoughtful consideration During this process Hazel Angus and Seb were available to provide guidance and coaching They offered their support through forums messages and online calls assisting all participants in their personal development Strong Mind s community carefully established and nurtrued by the founders completes the picture for the online courses Their encouragement and support for participants to share with each other adds hugely to the power of the course As participants in the course we had the opportunity to learn together and form meaningful connections We not only gained knowledge but also built friendships with one another These friendships have endured beyond the course and we now continue our climbing journey together supporting and encouraging each other along the way Performance Hacks has been truly transformative both in climbing and in life Before the course I had both great climbing days and stressful ones without understanding why Hazel immediately came through with some suggestions that helped me develop self-awareness unpick those issues and get the most out of the course Over the past few months my relationship with climbing has radically changed I now approach it with a sense of playfulness seeking out my own challenges I m also experiencing reduced stress from those latent issues such as fear of failure and judgment social comparison and validation Now it s about my own climbing journey shared with friends This newfound confidence and openness have greatly enriched my overall life I could never have anticipated the incredible value this course would bring The knowledge skills and personal growth that I have gained from Performance Hacks are priceless I am so grateful to the Strong Mind team and community for my fresh new perspective on life

Strong Mind has been an absolute game-changer
Strong Mind has been an absolute game-changer for me Their coaching and courses have not only provided me with tangible tools to enhance my climbing performance but have also impacted various aspects of my life What truly sets them apart is the way they blend science and theory with practical tools making the learning experience both insightful and applicable I had the pleasure of participating in two of their courses focusing on overcoming the fear of falling and performance hacks in addition to some one-on-one coaching sessions The knowledge and skills I gained have enabled me to effectively manage my fears and boost my confidence in tackling alpine climbing projects However the benefits extended far beyond my personal achievements they have greatly improved the quality of our family climbing adventures Strong Mind has not just enhanced my climbing abilities but has also empowered me as a mother to create enriching experiences for my family during our climbing journeys I am profoundly grateful for the positive impact this program has had on my life It s not just about climbing it s about elevating your entire life s experience

Essential Mindset Training
I really enjoyed my experience taking the Performance Hacks Course and am excited about furthering my journey through mental training with its help As others have said below although this course is directed towards climbing performance it has a lot of crossover for other aspects of life there are some lessons I believe should be taught to everyone In addition to this the course is laid out in a very clear and aesthetically pleasing way and is available to go back and view lessons for many years after finishing the course Pretty good value if you ask me It is clear that both Hazel and Angus are very passionate about the topics discussed and alps highly knowledgeable They do a good job of catering to those who want to know the scientific research behind the principles they talk about without making too heavy for those who are less interested in this I would definitely recommend this course for anyone looking to improve their mental game in climbing or even in life

The Strong Mind course helped improve my competition climbing
The Strong Mind course helped improve my performance in climbing competitions The guidance and tools have taught me to overcome and deal with pressure of competitions and the associated performance anxiety The course was very accessible and tailored to meet my individual needs Overall the course was a very positive and enjoyable experience I ve taken so much away from it I couldn t recommend it more highly to anyone wanting to improve the mental aspects of their climbing performance both indoors and outdoors

One of the best investment you can do for your climbing and life
I have taken the Performance Hacks course and would happily recommend Strong Mind The chapters are very well presented organised clear and concise whilst being comprehensive I really appreciated the videos and the text complements as well as the guided meditations and practice sheets you can review on your phone whilst at the crag The team and the community are very supportive and responsive and taking the course felt like an investment in a content and framework you can continuously refer back to even after you re done rather than a one-off magic protocol My climbing experience has been positively changed not only in terms of increased performance but also in terms of enjoyment and personal growth which also radiates in life Keep up the good work Strong Mind team

Regaining confidence and joy in climbing
I am currently enrolled in the active not prerecorded Flight School course and am really regaining my confidence in lead climbing and am enjoying it so much more than before attending the class It is helping me address my fear of falling in a unique way Unlike other courses I have taken the class works on the mindfulness piece from the start and doesn t jump into falling practice right away I have found this to be especially useful Journaling has been very effective in reminding me to take the time to reflect on what I was truly experiencing and assisting me on when to push forward or when to pull back We have weekly live video Q A sessions the help clarify the material They provide an online community where we can ask questions post videos for comments express successes The progress is real and something I can use going forward I feel much more empowered to take on challenges at the appropriate levels of stress Major kudos to Hazel and Angus plus Seb and Rita hope I m not forgetting anyone

Excellent course with real positive impact on my climbing
Performance Hacks is an excellent course packed full of well presented and high quality content The course really helped to raise my self awareness about my climbing and led me to challenge my perceptions about myself as a climber Through the course I identified barriers to both climbing enjoyment and performance and the gateways to address these It showed me how to develop practical strategies and habits to help unlock these gateways and this is already positively feeding through to my climbing performance I was so impressed I ve signed up to Flight School to address fear of fall which I identified as a barrier for me as part of the work on Performance Hacks
