Well the good news is that the final run of work on my book is taking place over the coming weeks. I still have a handful of images to take, but my hope is that by the beginning of next week those will be done and dusted, and an official draft document will be out for a chosen few to look over and comment on.
The plan is that by the 4th August the book will be heading out towards shops and other retailers. So if you are eagerly awaiting this book, which will help any body from beginning to more advance climber address and improve there climbing, or you are an instructor looking for ideas as to how to teach different aspect of climbing then this is the book for you.
The main distributor is Cordee, however the book will be available through Amazon or direct from Pesda Press. If you are the buyer for and climbing shop then please pre-order a few copies ready for the launch of this great new resource. Unlike any book that has come before it, the book as bags of practical exercises and top tips, as well as simply hundreds of photos and diagrams to explain to you, just how you can improve your movement technique, fitness, safety and mental approach to climbing.
Much of the book has applied lessons I have learned from years as a climbing instructor, and more recently applied the science of skill aquisition and sport psychology and performance physiology learnt on a taught Master Degree and one of the UK’s leading Universities for Sport, Health and Exercise Science, at Bangor North Wales.
I can’t tell you how excited I am that the finish line is in sight, and that finally the book is looking as good as it is. My hope is that many readers get as much out of the book as I did writing it. As I believe that spending the last couple of years working through and actually considering how, what and why I teach the different aspects of climbing, as made me one of the leading climbing coaches in the UK.
Whats more the photos and diagrams will be available for any coach to use as free downloads from the pesda press website
