Just stop caring, don't try the be the best just be your best. In the video Sharma says to get better learn to enjoy it, this is great advice and it's a self fufilling prophecy because once you are enjoying it you stop worrying about being the best and you can truly enjoy a climb unburdened by grades and failure. Then you are the best
Thanks, I actually watched this video because I really wanted to get better and I think I have. I have reached many personal goals recently and I am quite happy.
Agreed, whenever i started my hands would get sweatier the higher i went, after a time it went away, till all i saw were my next moves, the climb, and the send.
Same, but I suffered from a horrible fear of heights & falling when I started! Not a great combo for a climber really. What I did was every session I would get there early, and hook myself up to one of the auto-belays, climb up to around 3m, jump off, do the same at about 6m, then 9m, then from the top of the wall. Just so that at the start of each session I reinforced in my mind that the ropes were safe, and doing that for a while I found my fears had virtually gone.
I suffer from the metal side I all good when I'm training and doing hard stuff but in comps I freak. I have been doing comps for 4 years and it hasn't gone away. Any tips.
for more great advice on climbing check out "9 out of 10 climbers make the same mistakes" by Dave Macleod. Great book based off of personal experience (he climbs hard and coaches) combined with sport science.
Few people have the genetic makeup to "climb like Chris Sharma", as the video title suggests. Yes, the world's top climbers work very hard to be able to climb as hard as they do, but they were also given a natural head start with genetic gifts. For most people, all the training and climbing in the world, and all the mental focus in the world won't get them up a 5.15 or even a 5.14. This is not to take away from the fact that these guys and girls have worked super hard to get to where they are, but you can't ignore genetics. Very, very few people will ever be able to climb like Chris Sharma.

Climbing - making me younger !
Focus and grace has so much to do with completing tough lines. And as an angry and impulsive guy, it's amazing I can climb anything at all, haha.
I suffer from the metal side I all good when I'm training and doing hard stuff but in comps I freak. I have been doing comps for 4 years and it hasn't gone away. Any tips.
One problem I have is that i get terribly scared while climbing and it seriously effects my performance...

But I like to compete to see if I have improved.

Genetics determine your absolute potential, not your starting point. And anyone without major deformities can become an excellent climber.
man, do you think adam ondra has good genetics ??? then stop whining.
+Jet Funk Yes, I definitely do, where it counts for climbing.
+cashmab Even less people will try if your one of those coaches who spray that shit lmao.
