Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Sam Avezou - The SECRETS to French Climbing
Q: What are your go-to recovery routines after climbing?
Sam emphasizes prioritizing sleep, timely nutrition after sessions, and regular physiotherapy and massage as core recovery practices, with overall emphasis on consistency and listening to the body.
Mo Beck - UNRETIRING for the Paralympic Dreams
Q: Was it tough to get the North Face to sponsor you as a para climber and tips for getting sponsors?
Getting sponsorships was tough and largely based on luck, as I had already won two world championships before I got a free bag of chalk. Networking is important, but mostly it's about passion and telling your story.
Mo Beck - UNRETIRING for the Paralympic Dreams
Q: How did you get started climbing and then competing eventually?
I started climbing at 12 and eventually started competing when I realized para climbing was an option, spurred by a friend's encouragement to participate in competitions.
Mo Beck - UNRETIRING for the Paralympic Dreams
Q: What's your impairment and what sports class do you compete in?
I'm Mo Beck, a professional climber born without my left hand above the wrist, placing me in the AU2 class for IFSC competitions.
Rachel Carr - No high-level FEMALE COACHES??
Q: What are some of the difficulties you feel like you faced as a female coach?
There's that respect thing or people thinking that I'm as good a coach as my male colleagues; I've had several interactions where people have kind of looked me up and down.
