COACHING THE MIND - COURSE DETAILS

Coaching the Mind: Building Confidence: Carreg Dressage July 17th 2018

Come and join us on this equine focussed ‘Coaching the Mind: Building Confidence’ workshop and empower you to be more confident and set yourself up for success.

Confidence comes from knowing that you can do something, or learn to do something. And knowing why you know! 

What we will cover:

We will explore what you need to feel confident with your horse and realise your aspirations, whatever they are.You will be introduced to a range of mental skills that will help you reduce feelings of anxiety and increase your awareness, focus and skill. You will also learn how to build your confidence through effective profiling, planning, setting and monitoring your goals.

At the end of this workshop you will have an individual action plan. You will also have some tools to support you in practising the skills you have learnt and be in control of your own motivation and decision making.
