I asked Emil Abrahamson about that and I was lucky to get an answer, but in the end I didn't get what he really meant by that. I'm going back to my country in a month and I'm already 16 so I really want to improve as quickly as possible, and I think having a coach in person would really help.

But since I got this reply that having one online is better I've been considering it more, and in my city there are some comp kids and they usually train together with some of the gym coaches, and I'll probably have access to that class with the different training plans in my gym. And the only problem I find with having a coach online is that it is expensive, right now I'm working with a really nice coach but I think that to take my climbing to the next level it would be nice to start being coached by paradigm climbing, it's something I've been considering for a while, maybe I could start working with them next year or even 2028 because it is just too expensive.

But anyways I imagine that having a coach in person would be almost equally as expensive.

What are your opinions about that?

Guys I've been climbing for a while in my tenaya tantas and now they're completely destroyed so I need to buy new shoes, but not just any shoe because this year I'll start to compete and not just in any competition but in the nationals so I need a good pair of shoes.

However I also want something that could last for at least 6 months of moderate to intense training, because I'm not rich enough yet to buy a new shoe every month.

I'm gonna use it mainly for:

- Bouldering indoor (sometimes outdoor)

- Indoor lead climbing

In the picture I have my feet which are probably greek idk. And some shoes that I can try on in person bcs there's a local store near my house
