Episode 114: Dealing with Climbing Injury with Esther Smith and Eva Lopez

episode 114 eva lopez and esther smith.jpg

In this episode I sit down with two high-powered women, Esther Smith and Eva Lopez, and discuss how we can deal with climbing injury. Not the short view details of how to rehab your shoulder impingement, but the bigger picture ideas of prevention of, psychologically coping with, and the aftermath of climbing injuries.

Let’s face it. All of us who are trying hard to push ourselves will eventually be injured. It’s just part of sport. That doesn’t mean that the world needs to be over, and it doesn’t mean that we have to just sit around and wait for it to happen.

You’ll be hearing more from both of these women in the future!
