TBP 067 :: Sports Psychologist Chris Heilman on Breathing and Staying Calm

About Dr. Chris Heilman

Dr. Christina Heilman is a Sports Psychologist, as well as a personal trainer (CSCS and ATC) who earned her PhD in Sport and Exercise Psychology from the University of Utah. She is an avid skier, but loves a lot of sports, including all aspects of rock climbing.

She does work with athletes of all kinds, one-on-one and in group/team settings. She's also in the process of writing a textbook on sports psychology.

Chris is the same sports psychologist you heard Sam Elias talk about in my interview with him about his experience with the BD Bootcamp. He credited Dr. Heilman with a lot of his success after the bootcamp because she helped him become calmer and more focused on and off the wall.

Dr. Chris Heilman Interview Details

I talked to Chris about how we can all become calmer and more focused as climbers (and in general), and about her experience living and working with the guys' BD Bootcamp in 2015.

What We Talked About

  • How she works with people
  • How she came back from a devastating gymnastics injury
  • Breathing exercises you can start doing right now
  • How you can make yourself calm down using just one word
  • Why you should start your day with goal setting
  • Being in "flow zone"
