    Fascinating video.
    A few points.
    1- I think viewing this experience as resulting in failure is inaccurate. You did not achieve your ultimate goal but your progress was undeniable. You proved to yourself that you had the determination and grit necessary to perform at a high level. As Georges St-Pierre said (although I do think he was citing someone else), “The danger is not to set your goal too high and fail to reach it. It’s to set your goal too low and reach it.” You did not reach your goal but you advanced towards it and having that high goal in mind is what gave you the motivation to work that hard. Think of your greatest achievement in that journey, and ask yourself whether, if that achievement had been your final goal, would you have given it enough importance to work towards it as hard as you did? Probably not.
    2- You worked that hard for 6 months and fell short of your goal, and you describe this as "embarrassing". But what you forget is that training this hard is the live of a professional athlete. You're not competing against the other kids at your gym who just climb recreationaly. Who walk while you run. You're competing against other very motivated athletes whose life has been dedicated to climbing in a measure comparable to what you're doing now, for years. And you did it while studying full time as well, while most of them are 100% dedicated to climbing. I think very few people on this earth would qualify what your result as "embarrassing". Quite the opposite. Maintaining that level of discipline and determination for 6 months is something the crushing majority of people can only dream of. You set out clear goals, sought out the means to achieve them, designed and implemented a strategy, and made sacrifices. At 18 yrs old. Dude.
    3- What you describe in your experience during the lead competition points to two things.
    - Your video shows very little (maybe even none at all) preparation for lead climbing. We only see you bouldering. You have to respect lead climbing as a separate discipline. It's like you trained for sprints and assumed it could carry over to being a decent marathon runner. It really doesn't. Even at a pretty decent level, lead climbing usually involves only a small subset of the moves you end up doing in bouldering. The difficulty is generally not as much in the athleticism of individual moves but in efficiency, route reading, identifying rests, effective clipping, etc.
    - Competing is a discipline of its own. The most successful professional athletes aren't necessarily the ones who are the most skilled or athletic but the ones who can deliver consistently and under pressure. Good news is, you seem to already know how to have the right mindset, as the one you described during your bouldering competition (you knew you had done everything you could to prepare and then just let yourself have fun).
    All in all I think few people would not be impressed by that journey. As for your worry that you will now have to work and never have time to dedicate yourself as much to climbing, that is untrue. It is entirely a choice. Here in Quebec we have a female rock climber named Annie Chouinard who decided to dedicate herself to climbing. She does mostly rock and not so much competition. She used to work in a medical lab full time and cut down her work hours to half so that she would have time to workout twice a day. She did that move well into her 30's. As a 5ft1' 35 yrs old she was the first female to send some of the 5.14+ routes in the region and she is still improving.
    The beauty of rock climbing, at the moment, is that the sport is not yet saturated. It only just started to hit the mainstream a few years ago. This means the competition is still at a stage where it can be accessible not just to genetic freaks but also to people who have the heart to put the energy into it. At 18 (or 19, whatever) I think you shouldn't count yourself out.

      First and foremost, thank you very much for taking the time to write all that out, I really appreciate it.
      1. Throughout the experience, I was so involved with the training and thinking about the details I never gave the "why" as well as "the result" too much thought which might be a reason why when those thoughts come up right before the comp I just crumbled. I have spent a lot of time just thinking after this experiment and I think you are right, I am closer to my goal then ever and that would not have been possible unless I did this, moreover, my weaknesses are way more apparent now which allows me to work on them better in the future.
      2. A lot of hesitation was in mind when I was editing this video regarding whether or not to put the section of me saying it was :embarrassing" in, but since that's genuinely the thought on my mind after the competition and honestly an extremely annoying thought, I put it in anyways. I believe that comes down to all the examples that we have out there, all the stories and videos and people who got knocked down, they always get back up and they always make it at the end, don't really recall the last projecting video I watched that ended with the person not sending at the end. Having made my goal quite obvious, maybe not on social media but at least to the ones closest to me and ones who have opinions I care the most about, I felt the obligation of showing something for all that work and results simply is the most clear cut thing. Of course I had so many positive take aways from this experience, not that I am able to relate to Adam Ondra all that well, but when he failed on Perfecto Mundo, I think he expressed a familiar feeling, when you set a goal and publicise it, there's an expectation of the perfect story ending. Perhaps that's something that should be addressed more since most stories and journeys end with failures but that was just my line of thought.
      3. A lot of preparation went behind the lead comps actually. I was training a lot of endurance just on the circuit 2 months before the competition and started lead climbing 3 times a month, a month and a half fish before the comp. Also I was lead climbing with the competition in mind right at the start of the six months but going out and leading a lot more just to get the mindset and fear of falling out of the way, perhaps that was not the best way to prepare for the comp, but as someone who was writing their own plans and setting all the training periods by themselves, I tried to maximise my chances at the boulder comp first and build the power endurance at the latest as I know power endurance takes much less time to build then power also the maximum strength from the bouldering training is much easier to maintain.
      4. Maybe I should have highlighted the differences in focus between rock climbing and competition climbing more in the video. No disrespect to anyone who has their goals set on rock climbing but I think the sheer time necessary for competition climbing, that is to be great at every single style, multiple disciplines whiles maintaining a healthy body and mind is honestly much harder than having goals on the rock. My emphasis is on the time and not effort, I am fully aware of people who dedicate their lives to rock climbing and spending every single minute of their spare time working towards their goals, I have nothing but respect for that. With other professional athletes or at least people I am trying to catch up to, who have the privilege to train as a job, I just struggle to see a path and examples of where that would worked.
      4. At the end of the day, similar to most people my age, I just haven't fully found my path and find myself to be in a constant battle of figuring out what to do with my life despite having spent 4 years getting a university degree. For the time being, I am a coach, video creator and an aspiring athlete (if you can call me that), there does seem to be a possibility of this working out and me being able to manage my time well enough to keep training the necessary amount for me to eventually reach my goal (hopefully). This is going to be a progress of figuring out and I hope to document that on this channel as well.
      Lastly, just want to thank you again for spending time to share your thoughts, you set up some great questions which I definitely should have asked myselF, it was very helpful, so THANK YOUUUUU!

      ​@@Jonathan_sin88I don't know if that will help as I appreciate difference across countries may well vary but I'm on a fulltime job as of this year in the UK after moving here for uni and I find training consirably easier than at uni.
      1. I have one job rather than being at uni and a part time job.
      2. I have set hours which means once I'm done, I forget about it to climb with all my brain focused rather than thinking 'oh you should be studying right now'.
      3. I have weekends that are actually weekends which means 2 full days with nothing to do but climb, rest, socialise as wanted.
      So obviously it depends on what job you go for, but if you find something that doesn't require mad hours. it's very doable !

      I think people really underestimate having good genetics for tendon and ligament strength
      No matter how strong your fingers are or how quickly they get stronger, if your connective tissues don't hold up, then you can't progress (don't mean to minimize his immense efforts in any way)

    • @andrewskerratt8353
      @andrewskerratt8353 10 месяцев назад +28

      @@xinsanedefeatxI’ve been thinking abt this and kinda agree. Some people say strong climbers are genetically gifted. I disagree I’ve seen people that work stupid hard get really good, and people who don’t work hard don’t get as good. It’s pretty simple. What gets in the way is injury. This is where “genetics” maybe can come into play. For example I did outdoor V13 2.5 years into climbing. I worked harder then anyone I know, and I didn’t get injured. I was careful, good sleep, good food, self care… but with the stress on my tendons I think some people would’ve still been injured. But there’s plenty of people that never get injured that still don’t work hard enough to progress.

      Jonathan keep it up!! Being a pro climber is not what people are thinking, i remember when i started climbing we went to Arco Italy, there are all the pro’s! We climbed with them everything but they climbed so ridiculous much harder then normal people its a total different game. They warmed up in a 8B then climbed 8C+ then tried a 9A and went to the pool again. I’m pretty strong too but was not able to match and still aren’t. That you even tried makes me like you. You will be a pro! Within 2 years if you go on, maybe a YT pro but i’m confident bro good luck

    My first thought when I saw this video was just a big WOW on how quickly you progressed. But thinking about it one more time Im actually more impressed with your dedication and your ability to dream big. I think Magnus said this in a podcast he was invited too once, that his biggest regret as a climber was limiting himself mentally and not believing anything harder could be achieved than what some climbers had just done. (I think he refered to Chris Sharma specifically). So kudos to you for dreaming big and really going after it, no matter how unrealistic it may seem to most people.

    You didn’t fail. You’ve succeeded more in 6 months then most people do in a lifetime. You’re also still very young, and your goals will change, but the work ethic and knowledge stays. Maybe you will eventually not care so much about competing, I think climbing is about so much more then beating others. Don’t give up, because I’m sure you can do it regardless, but there’s also so many goals you can set for yourself in climbing, and you’ve already proven to yourself how far you can push yourself. I also started climbing “late” and I love to see my fellow strong climbers who were late to the game. Every ounce of skill you fought for, it’s yours, and it came from your own personal desire, and to me (and I think a lot of others) that’s a lot more inspirational then all the prodigious stories that try to tell you if you weren’t born into it, it’s not for you. I can tell you love climbing, if you can keep that fire burning it will take you far.

    im a 13 year old youth climber. despite how you performed or how you feel i just want you to know how much of an inspiration you are to me. this is the best climbing video i have ever seen.
    i started climbing just like you. i went on a family trip to yosemite and saw el cap and watched free solo for the first time. it looked incredible. im hooked. its such an amazing sport. i climb as often as i can. 5 times a week for hours upon hours. wrecking myself but having the time of my life while doing so. my whole family has been super supportive and never complain about driving sometimes 10 hours just so i can perform poorly in cramped climbing gyms.
    i joined a well known and talented youth team extremely early into my climbing career, but i feel as if i haave been thrown in over my head. i may not the best climber on my team but i sure as hell want to be. while i have never made a podium or sent v11 something about this sport hooks me in and makes me want to try as hard as i can to change that.
    for me its soemthing about your detication and approach to the sport that inspires me to try even harder, and i really love this video.
    like you my bouldering is probably my best discipline. i have improved a ton but no matter how good i get i still feel defeated. compared the the others on my team i have barely started climbing. theyve been climbing since they were 7 and have parents can send train with them and project their lead routes. my first comp was a year after i started clibming. almost exactly. and it feels awful sometimes. falling on routes that others would warm up on. sure every once in a while ill do well, but i never win. i raarely even get top ten.
    I know i have got a long way to go as a climber but I feel as if I have started the race that others are miles deep into, and i have to stuggle to catch up.
    i would never stop climbing. It keeps me sane. its my favorite thing to do by far, but its so hard to be good at a sport that others have much more experience than you in. i love my coaches and my team and how hard they push me but sometimes it feels like a battle that i cant win. not because im bad, but because im behind. i want to train as hard and as much as you but between school and cross country training it is hard for me to get extra climbing in. i have almost no free time and deticate most of it to planks and other static exercises, which makes a difference. I am lean and strong and fit right in with the kids on my team, but sometimes just cant keep up. and it can get exausting falling on the same 7s and 8s, while other are on 9s and 10s
    with boulder season coming up im extremely excited to get back on the walls after a [shitty] lead season, but cant help but worry that ill continue to perform badly as i have in the past. i love climbing with all my heart, but it can be cruel, and the best way for me to get ahead is to just power through and put in 40% more than everyone else. Im working as hard as possible to make this the best climbing i have ever had, but am scared to underperform and dissapoint my team.
    this video freaking opened my eyes. for the first itme im seeing another climbing who started relitively late sending crazy hard and competing well too. i hope you know how much of an inspiration you are to me and how much i look up to you. you are truly a rad dude.
    if you have any advice that made you the absolute beast that you are please let me know. Ill probably come back after boulder season with an update but until then please keep on sending and climbing as often as you can.
    ps. (sorry if this is poorly written im not the best at writing and im a bit scatter brained)

But man i kept working at it and now I am solidly podium at most comps. Its about loving the sport and loving competing. If you dont enjoy it your results will most likely show. Also try not to get stuck up on numbers and make your goal be that YOU feel like you tried your hardest and did your best. Dont get discouraged and also be careful working too hard, injuries suck.

Don’t always compare to your teammates or any other people because sometimes this the biggest mistake that you can make but also it could drive you on higher score but believe that you can do it and don’t lose faith and hope that soon or one day you will be really good because you didn’t start anyway that late! You got the time to get better! 😄

    Massive respect man. Balancing work, studies, and climbing is no joke. I started working during postgrad studies (whilst following a similar climbing protocol) and the thing that really got in the way for me is the lack of sleep. Since sleep is like essential for all three those (especially muscle recovery), it was a big obstacle for me. Keep it up and crush.

    Hi there, im really impressed by all the work you've made and by your discipline (Imma take inspiration from your routine) . Moreover you came with a message which is currently really important to me (I LOVE climbing and was starting to get at a relatively good level by the end of last semester but I had some difficult times, which made me stop coming to the gym for a certain time, getting slowly where i was now) I cannot express with words my gratitude. This video means a lot, thank you

    • @Jonathan_sin88
      @Jonathan_sin88  10 месяцев назад +1

  • @kylliangomar520
    @kylliangomar520 3 месяца назад

    Hello man, congrats for the level you have. I think that to reach your goals it's necessary to climb with more technicity ( the key of climbing). If you want to compete, participate to all the competitions you can to learn about yourself. For example I have made a bunch of competition in France and I have learned that to be at my best I have to stop climbing 1 week before the comp. It's an example among others. The psychology is truly important, and there is a huge work surrounding your perceptions of you, during the competition and how you can resist to presure.
    Good luck, a goal is never to high and climbing is more demanding than any other sports .

    Would love to see what your workouts/ exercises looked like during this period! Hangboarding, pinching, no hangs, etc! If you ever wanted to share a more in depth look at breaking down the routine and what you felt helped and what you felt could've been improved on.
    All things aside though, great job! Climbing always feels like a selfish (self motivated, putting yourself through the grind), intrinsic sport when it comes to improvement! These past few months weren't a waste and you definitely grew in more ways than you think :)

    Amazing video! Mad props to you, climbing V10 in 2 years is INSANE. Only advice I can give is always talk to people if you don't, self compassion is a hard thing to do, it's the whole art of you'd never tell a friend they're not good enough or their dreams are unrealistic, but it's easy to tell yourself that. All the best and good luck, keep climbing hard 💪
