Team Philosophy
The Movement Gowanus Competitive Program strives to inspire young climbers to pursue a journey of growth and learning through climbing. We believe that support and camaraderie are key to helping athletes grow and succeed. We want our athletes to feel encouraged and valued, so they can leave their comfort zone to take risks and push their boundaries, leading to personal and collective growth. We focus on process and effort over sends and podiums. We embrace failure as a steppingstone to success and view challenges as opportunities for growth and learning. Our coaches are dedicated to guiding athletes to develop sustainable practices that will lead to a lifelong love of climbing.
