Summary

What can you do when you're at a horse show and you just blow a run. How can you shake it off, and bounce back before your next run? When you don't really have time to go lick your wounds and have to get back and perform sooner rather than later. How do you shift from asking yourself, "Why bother?" to feeling ready to rock your run? Join Nicole and Abe (her husband and co-founder) as we talk about ways you can effectively bounce back quicker at your next competition so you can keep charging ahead to success and not get stuck ruminating on a poor run.

Key Points

  3. Adopting a curiosity-based mindset and questioning assumptions can lead to personal growth and learning.
  4. The importance of sticking to a training plan and avoiding unnecessary changes
  5. The warmup pen can be a stressful place, and it is crucial to shift your energy and attitude before entering it.
