A SPORT PSYCHOLOGY WORKBOOK FOR RIDERS

Is your riding performance a series of peaks and troughs?
Do you find it hard to concentrate on the right things?
Are you easily distracted by negative thoughts?
Do you lack self-confidence, fear it, or confuse it with arrogance?
Does your riding lack goals and ambition?

All these issues and more are covered in a clear, realistic and sympathetic way in
A SPORT PSYCHOLOGY WORKBOOK FOR RIDERS

It takes more than learning the technicalities of riding to become a truly competent rider. Effective riding is ultimately a two-way communication between rider and horse, and the benefits of the rider being relaxed, confident and focused are enormous. In A SPORT PSYCHOLOGY WORKBOOK FOR RIDERS the reader is taught how to achieve this beneficial state through employing mental strategies which are used by top riders (and other athletes) whilst training and competing. These strategies are explained in logical, down-to-earth terms, cutting through the muddled and destructive thinking which so often bedevils performance. While the book focuses primarily upon preparation and performance in the competitive disciplines, the ideas and strategies expounded will be of value to all riders who want to achieve a happy and successful relationship with their horse. Furthermore, since sport psychology is the psychology of peak performance, the strategies on offer have many positive applications in daily life.
Horseweb-UK says.. A very interesting approach to riding. With lots of questionaires and conclusions, you find out what you do and why, how to focus, motivate and attain your goals. A 'must' for the competitive rider.
