Collecting Dots vs. Connecting Dots
In the climbing community, there is an abundance of information and advice on training. However, the problem lies in how climbers and coaches collect and interpret this information. Instead of truly connecting the dots and critically analyzing the principles behind the exercises, many climbers tend to collect dots, picking and choosing protocols and exercises without fully understanding their applicability or effectiveness. This approach can lead to misinformation and ineffective training methods. It is important to invest time in investigating the underlying principles and interrogating complex interactions rather than simply relying on simplified explanations and one-to-one causal relationships.
