  • There is so much freely shared resources on this podcast. Neely interviews a lot of great guests and can be very vulnerable herself. Highly recommended for climbers (and also parents of climbers). I finish episodes always wanting to contact Neely to say thanks again.

  • Motivating, empowering and great company ☺️

    The most pleasant, fun, informative and all-round climbing podcast.

    I listen to some episodes two or three times sometimes and each time I find a takeaway.

    Just now I have finished listening to the episode with climber&mum Majka Burhardt and I am SO grateful for it! Her words and even her tone of voice.. I can relate to so much of what she’s saying.

    Neely your podcast has so much value!

    Sometimes when I listen to it, it feels like I’m having a chat with some of my best friends!😄

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

TBP 313: Research on Burnout, Performance, and Mental Health in Climbers with Dr. Maria Stefania Ionel
Q: What interventions can help climbers dealing with burnout or anxiety?
Interventions include relaxation techniques and mindfulness, adjusting training loads with coaches and federations, and developing non-sport self-regulation tools to reduce overreliance on training as a coping mechanism.
TBP 313: Research on Burnout, Performance, and Mental Health in Climbers with Dr. Maria Stefania Ionel
Q: How is burnout defined and distinguished from depression in climbers?
Burnout is a sport-specific syndrome characterized by exhaustion, depersonalization, and reduced sense of accomplishment, which can progress toward overtraining if not managed; depression involves broader life-wide symptoms and is not limited to sport domains.
TBP 313: Research on Burnout, Performance, and Mental Health in Climbers with Dr. Maria Stefania Ionel
Q: What are the main psychological predictors of climbing performance?
Openness to experience and grit stood out as key predictors of performance, with openness supporting the adoption of new strategies and routes, while grit reflects long-term goal commitment beyond traditional conscientiousness.
TBP 310: What to Do about Migraines as an Athlete with Dr. Danielle Wilhour
Q: What are common triggers beyond diet, and how can athletes manage them?
Common triggers include stress, sleep disruption, hormonal changes, dehydration, and altitude; management involves consistent hydration, balanced meals, gradual exposure to exercise, sleep optimization, and considering preventive medications when needed.
TBP 310: What to Do about Migraines as an Athlete with Dr. Danielle Wilhour
Q: Do migraines affect training recovery, and should you adjust your workout schedule?
Yes. Recovery time may extend after a migraine, especially if the attack was severe; clinicians may recommend an extra rest day if post-drome symptoms linger to prevent triggering another headache when resuming training.
