Session 1: The Power of your mind for Riding
This covers a general introduction to sport psychology. We discuss how your mind affects you, your horse & your riding & how important it is to realise that your horse’s behaviour is affected by your mindset. We introduce how our mind translates the world around us & filters that information leading to positive or negative thoughts & strategies. We also discuss why you should think of your unconscious mind as your inner horse.
Session 2: The importance of positive goal setting
This session is a follow-on from the first session. After time to reflect over the previous week, we will discuss the importance of positive goals. What would YOU like to achieve in the coming year?
Session 3: What is positive mindset?
We expand on what was learnt in the first session. Positive mindset is banded about in all aspects of life but what does it really mean?! We discuss strategies further – what works & doesn’t work – how your beliefs can affect how you behave & the power of positive visualisation & limiting beliefs. We discuss the glass half full/ half empty concept & how reframing your thoughts can have a massive impact on how you perceive events.
Session 4: The Fearful Rider vs Fear-less Rider
We discover how your age, gender, past experiences affect you fears & beliefs. Even if you think you do not suffer from fear or a lack on confidence, we will ask are you sure? – you may change your mind! We will use CBT to find out what happens when you know it is time to get nervous, so that you can understand what goes wrong! Then we will use some NLP exercises that you can use when riding to help you control them.
Session 5: Are you ‘body aware’ when you ride?
Are you aware of the little things that happen when you ride – especially when you are nervous? Are you aware of a change in your body when you get nervous? Do you find that you hold your breath (perhaps you become breathless). It may not be as simple as you are unfit! If you hold your breath, you affect your Chi energy as well. This blocks many subtle parts of your body and your horse. So we introduce this new concept & how you can start to change this area of your riding.
Session 6: The mindful rider
What does this mean & do you ride ‘mindfully’? We learn how to cope in stressful situations using what we have learnt in the last few sessions. If you cannot learn a dressage test or show jumping round, we discuss how you can! If you find yourself thinking ‘thank goodness that bit is over’ you are not riding mindfully & at your maximum potential!!
On top of all the above, you get the chance to ask questions as we go along (if you attend the live training each week) AND you can book a private session with me (worth £40) at some point during the series – all included in the price.
How to book?
All sessions will be run on the ZOOM platform, places are limited. All sessions will be recorded so if you cannot attend one or all sessions at the time scheduled, you can catch up during the following week.
