Competitive Team

Competitive Team

Welcome to the home of the 2023 Youth Nationals Overall Champions (including 1st place in Bouldering and 2nd place in Roping). Method prides itself on its competitive program. We provide the team and our coaches with the necessary resources to coach our athletes to the highest levels.

Elite Coaching

Elite athletes require elite coaching

At Method, our competitive team is led by Jeremy Meza. He is experienced, technical, supportive, and strong enough to keep up with the kids. And he has been a head coach of elite programs and athletes for many years.

He is supported by Obe Carrion, a legendary coach in his own right, assistant coach Enrique Gomez, assistant coach Charlie Livingstone, and strength and conditioning coach Howard Hain.

Strong Climbers

Steel sharpens steel

There is no greater motivation than the friendly competitiveness of climbing with other elite athletes. Not only is it more fun, but it can motivate your climbers to improve in ways that are hard to replicate otherwise.

Constant Feedback Loop

Constant feedback loop is important

In order to improve, athletes need to constantly hear feedback. And in order for coaches to understand their athletes, they need to watch every important attempt in order to know what to coach.

At Method, we've developed a constant feedback loop. Coaches get the information that they need to always know what each climber needs. And thus, each climber gets the feedback to know what needs to be improved.

Comprehensive Program

Improve as competitors

Success in competitions isn’t only about being strong. At Method, we work on areas that improve climbers as competitors. To that end, we constantly teach footwork and technique. We integrate yoga and other methods to help each climber’s mental game. And we constantly practice onsighting to improve problem-solving and creativity.

Mission Statement

Over the next several months of training and competing, we aim to help everyone reach their goals as a climber, as well as foster a community defined by comradery, trust, and accountability. It is our goal as your coaches to create this type of atmosphere for you to excel as an athlete and competitor.

We believe in the process. No matter how strong or experienced, we believe that making the daily commitment to your sport is what will drive results. We hold ourselves accountable to the same degree we hold our climbers. If you are willing to put in the work, so are we. We believe strong communication will be crucial in establishing an open channel between athletes, coaches, and parents throughout the season.
