Coaching philosophy
Why Ethan
There are a lot of coaches offering training programs and advice, so why choose Ethan?

Everyone is looking for that silver training bullet that will take their performance to the next level, but the strongest fingers in the world will not let you glimpse a fraction of your true potential if you are not implementing smart strategy or if you are distracted by fear or performance anxiety.
Alongside mindset and tactical coaching, Ethan offers fully customised training plans for climbers, developed in collaboration with strength training expert and sports physiotherapist Chris Allan.
