Hi,

I’m alex HUPJE, I’VE WORKED AS A COACH FOR OVER 7 YEARS NOW, DURING WHICH I’VE HAD THE PLEASURE OF WORKING with a diverse variety of individuals; from new climbers taking their first steps, to gb youth athletes competing around the world.

PREDOMINANTLY, MY FOCUS IS ON BUILDING UP YOUTH ATHLETES WITHIN THE COMPETITION ENVIRONMENT WITH LONG-TERM ATHLETIC DEVELOPMENT AT THE CORE OF WHAT WE DO.

I’ve coached in a variety of environments and countries, FROM REGULAR 1-1 SESSIONS, TO ARENA COACHING, FROM BESPOKE EVENT WORKSHOPS, TO DELIVERING NATIONAL TRAINING EVENTS.

This breadth of experience enables me to support climbers taking their next steps wherever they are in their climbing journey or whatever their goals may be. my approach is founded on developing climbers in a sustainable, holistic manner; fundamentally creating a strong coach - climber relationship that enables us to develop our physical, technical and tactical skills, whilst supporting the climber PSYCHOLOGICALLY. 

why climbing?

PUT SIMPLY, I LOVE IT.

I HAVE BEEN CLIMBING FOR 18 YEARS AND COULDN’T IMAGINE MYSELF DOING ANYTHING ELSE.

to this day i remain grateful to all those who helped foster my journey and feel incredibly lucky to be able to share my passion for such an incredible sport with so many incredible athletes. 

I work across the south OF THE UK at a fantastic variety of centres, so always have something to offer DEPENDING ON WHAT DISCIPLINE YOU’RE WORKING IN.
