Phil Watts, Professor in Exercise Science, presented two keynote lectures and two workshops last month at the 2011 Banff Climbing Conference in Alberta, Canada. The conference targeted coaches of competition sport rock climbers. Watts co-presented some sessions with Vanesa España Romero, who spent the winter of 2010 in Marquette doing collaborative research with him. Their joint keynote presentation at the Banff Conference was "What Research Tells the Coach and Athlete About Climbing." Watts also gave a keynote titled "Developing a Climbing-Specific Training Program." The workshops were on performance model assessments and the use of video as a self-assessment of climbing technique. |
