In India, it's no secret that authority is still used as a tool in sports coaching, often at the expense of empathy and support. 'Tough love', essentially.  

Dhillan Chandramowli chats with Madeleine Crane, founder of Climbing Psychology - a sports psychology company with a focus on climbing - about the old and new ways of training children.   

In this episode they talk about:  

  • Her entry into Psychology
  • The niche of 'Climbing Psychology'  
  • Is the older, authoritarian style of coaching valuable? 
  • Working with young athletes in age groups of 6-10 years and 10-12 years 
  • Overcoming the generation gap in coaching values  
  • Communicating with child athletes 
  • The positives of empathetic training 
  • Group dynamics when coaching 
  • Handling failure and separating self worth from performance 
  • Understanding the impact of Social Media on young athletes 
  • The importance of allowing athletes to talk about romantic feelings  
  • If we want more children 'climbing for life', these are thing we MUST pay attention to!
