Additional Event Information
�Nerve-busting� Sport Psychology Workshop
Do certain riding activities make you feel like a bundle of nerves? Or, do you find it hard to replicate training performances at competitions or when �it matters�?
We all have a comfort zone, and stepping outside of that can feel daunting: whether that�s hacking a new route or competing over a bigger jumping track. We can all relate to the physical and mental experience of �nerves� � such as �butterflies in the tummy� or worrying about the worst-case-scenario. And, if we aren�t mentally prepared for a new challenge, these nerves can hold us back, or transfer to our horse � negatively influencing our riding performance and enjoyment.
This 2 hour unmounted workshop for equestrians will help you to understand how the brain reacts to stepping outside of your comfort zone. You�ll learn tools that will enable you to confidently stretch yourself, and to view this stretch as a positive �challenge�, rather than a negative �stress�. You will leave this workshop with developed self-awareness, and a plan of how to take on new challenges with a clear, calm, and positive mindset.
