Are you nervous about riding or anxious about falling off? Are you always imagining worst-case scenarios? Are past experiences shaking your confidence? Are you fine in familiar settings but tense at competitions?
I’ll teach you how to harness the power of your own mind, to ensure that your mind is working for you, not against you. Just as you train your body to perform, you can also train your mind.

Case Study
Jordan Hogg – Crossfit Athlete
“I went into my first session with zero clue of what to expect and to be honest a little sceptical, but straight away Samantha put me at ease. Just by her talking me through what she does and what we could achieve I was hooked and couldn’t wait to get started.
Over the next few weeks, I retested a number of gymnastics tests, using all the techniques I’d covered with Sam. I can honestly say that I beat all of my previous scores.
I now use these techniques without thinking about it in every session and can’t wait to use them in competition!
Sam… You’re awesome!”

Case Study
Rachel Clyde – AA Eventer
“I’m a training level AA eventer that came to Sam after struggling with confidence to move up levels. Working with Sam over the past 6 months or so has allowed me to take a different perspective toward higher pressure environments.
I recently went back to a venue I haven’t been to for 2 years because of how busy the environment was. Last time I was there I had a nasty fall due to my horse being very distracted. My trainer couldn’t come, I switched classes minutes before I got on, I couldn’t find my horses bonnet, there was a trainer there watching that I really respect and I was doing everything by myself. All things that would’ve really stressed me out in the past.
None of these things distracted us and we came out of the show as reserve champion. I was very proud of my horse and really felt like I could attribute the progress to my enhanced mental state. This particular example is from a jumper show, but all the things I mention are transferable to all of my rides.
Highly recommend Sam for show nerves, anxiety and practical tools to handle what comes your way at shows and in life.”
