Climbing Parents Circle
Watching your child grow and achieve new milestones in climbing is an incredible experience. As fellow climbing parents, we know firsthand the unique mix of challenges and joys that come with supporting young climbers. That’s why we’re here—to provide you with practical psychological tools designed to help you better support your child on their climbing journey.
Have you ever struggled with managing your own fears or anxieties as well as expectations while supporting your child's climbing aspirations?
Have you found it difficult to strike a balance between pushing your child to excel and respecting their boundaries and limitations?
Do you worry about how to handle setbacks or failures in your child's climbing journey?
Have you experienced challenges in effectively communicating with your child's climbing coaches or instructors?
Do you wonder how to foster a healthy sense of competition and camaraderie among your child and their climbing peers?
Climbing isn't just a sport – it's a lifestyle, a passion, and a journey that often involves the whole family, thereby significantly impacting family dynamics. As climbing parents ourselves and experts in the field from a psychological perspective, we understand the unique struggles you face. That's why we've created the Climbing Parents Circle, a supportive space and learning platform to connect climbing parents, share experiences, and gain valuable insights to navigate the challenges of raising a young climber.

What You Don’t Get
No fluff — just the good stuff. We only share the proven frameworks and tools that have a track record of results.
No quick fixes. (The mind is a complex infrastructure and doesn't rewire overnight). There are so many different mental aspects to learn about as a coach and becoming mentally stronger is an on-going journey – for both you as a coach and your athletes. This is the start to becoming more aware of what you can do, what impact you have and how to foster both your athletes’ performance, enjoyment and well-being in climbing.
Our classes are designed to help you better understand your team. But learning and hearing about something is something completely different to applying it. The application of what you learn is up to you. We recommend you to reflect yourself on what you have learnt afterwards, so you can better implement your lessons learnt into your every day training.
What Other Parents Have Said
“Working with Climbing Psychology has been incredibly valuable for me as a sports parent. The insights and strategies I've gained have greatly improved my ability to support our child and have strengthened our relationship. Watching our kid benefit from Climbing Psychology's guidance has been invaluable for our entire family.”
Michael, Austria
“As a mother of two teenage athletes I highly recommend Climbing Psychology. Both Madeleine and Carina are not only very knowledgeable and experienced psychologists but also truly lovely people. My sons are benefiting a lot from the one on one coaching they do with Carina. Mental training is just as important as any other aspect in an athlete‘s career und finding a psychologist who is not only good at their job but also knowledgeable in the world of climbing is incredibly helpful and beneficial.”
Birgit, Austria
"I realized how my words and actions affected my son. By focusing on his effort and progress rather than just results, our relationship improved, and he started enjoying climbing again. Thanks, Climbing Psychology, for your support!"
