I Love the idea of having a footballer talking about strategies of games, training, setting new goals. I also liked the comparaison of vertical and seing the field / adapting to the "terrain". Thank you so much ! 🌲

a personal coach
Not only Eric provide tons of useful information but also helps me keep the motivation up. Thanks for what you do. Greetings from Spain
I’ve tried so so many times to find value in Horst, however, I just can’t take him. An hr podcast will contain about 2 minutes of substance. The rest is just Horst endlessly talking about the basic point over and over again.
Very good podcast about climbing and training. It has helped me on many long car journeys and I always discover something new.
As an older climber and boulderer, I can also put many of his tips into practice. Thank you very much!
