Approach
Before we get into your personalized, one-on-one mental skills training for riding, we first establish our relationship with your Free Consultation Session, where we’ll discuss what you’re currently experiencing, where you want to be, and what it takes to get there.
Once mental performance training sessions begin, we approach the very first session by taking some time to dive into your performance. You will understand what exactly is happening in your mind and why, and you will receive your very own Mental Performance Training Plan (MPTP) that we will work off in following sessions.
Our sessions will then work on the mental skills listed on your MPTP, working towards accomplishing your specific mental performance goals for riding.
Together, we will work on improving your mental game, which will then translate to your performance both in and out of the saddle. I am committed to helping you transform into the best rider and person you can be!
Why use a Mental Performance Consultant?
In athletics, competition, performance, and especially riding, there are many aspects that we can't control. One thing that we can control is ourselves- our thoughts, attitude, responses, focus, etc. when faced with adversity. And this can be difficult to accomplish! Wouldn't it be nice to perform consistently in both lessons and horse shows, rather than feeling like you're on a roller coaster full of ups and downs?
The use of mental performance training will maximize your potential and make you a well-rounded athlete, setting you apart from others. These skills are also transferable to daily life and assist you into becoming a better person overall. Together we’ll create and refine your plan for success, aligning your mind in the best way possible!
Reaching your optimal performance goals starts with training the mind.
Your performance goals matter. We will work together to make your dreams and goals a reality by improving your mental game.
Physical talent alone can only take athletes so far; being equipped with effective mental skills will take you the extra mile. Aligning the mind is the first step towards success!
When you work with me, you are my number one priority, and I will do all that I can to help you reach your highest potential.
Although my area of specialization is with equestrian athletes, I work with all athletes and performers of all ages, skill levels, and activity types. Parents and coaches also benefit from mental performance training!
