Alex Puccio is returning for a local roped competition in Colorado at @movementgyms
This episode shows how Alex warms-up, her mentality approaching the routes and her reflection on them.
Alex is prone to anxiety and nerves and this episode we get to see them come out as...let's just say she doesn't climb her best.
We all get nervous when we climb.
Be it with others watching, a competition, trying to send a project outside - an onsight attempt. It's natural.
Alex has a lifetime of competition experience. Winning world cups, but often putting her 2nd and 3rd placements down to her mental game.
How do you overcome these anxieties?
How do you move on from feeling not so great?
Watch Alex talk through these aspects and have her attempts at the final two qualifier routes at movement baker (Denver).
A huge thank you to Movement Gyms for letting us film. Movement Baker is one of our favorite gyms and it's so nice to be able to film there. The staff are all excellent and facilitating.
Also, a massive thank you to our new friends, @NathanBetts and @hannahmorrisbouldering They helped film this and were beyond helpful! If you've not done so already, check out their channel!
They've been in Colorado for the last week - showing us how to "KZfaq" and we are excited to see where it takes us.
Keep an eye out on their channel for some videos featuring the both of us.

Thanks for watching!
