Discipline, something my clients will hear me talk about a lot 😊 The more discipline you have, the more freedom you gain. Discipline brings reward. The more disciplined you are and the longer you commit to it, the greater the reward becomes. Discipline gives you choice, it puts you in a position of advantage not entitlement.

Like anything developing disciplined routines requires effort and thought but over time it just becomes something you do, just like brushing your teeth every morning 😁 taking away the thousands of decisions you have to make and being able to trust the process enables a lot quieter mind in the moments that matter.

I'm delighted to bring to you the 2022 Winter Webinar. A new Webinar full of learnings from a busy year!

Are you interested in learning how your psychology influences your potential in the saddle?

Following on from the massive success of events and talks this summer, I am delighted to bring you the 2022 Winter Webinar. Join me for an insight into some of the tools I've used this year with athletes competing at the Global Champions Tour, The World Equestrian Games and the World Cup Series. We'll look at the strategies I use with Young Riders to keep them accountable as well as methods for analysis and self coaching. We'll talk real life stories and put theory to practice.

Join me on Tuesday December 6th for a thought provoking evening, don't miss out!

Topics covered:

▶️Taking control of the voice in your head- how do you become your own coach?
▶️Keeping ourselves accountable to progress- how do I learn to track, reflect and progress?
▶️Take control of focus, how do top riders compete in intimidating venues?
▶️Control the controllables- how do I learn not to panic when something changes?
▶️Confidence, whats the secret?
And much more...
