Too many people think of sports psychology as offering a limited (and old) fund of knowledge dealing only with performance-related matters. Heads Up! is here to change this view. It offers readers specific insights, ideas, and practical strategies that can enhance their entire riding experience.
Heads Up! Practical Sports Psychology for Riders, Their Families & Their Trainers is designed to help the equestrian athlete enhance his or her experience of riding, training, competing, and otherwise doing business with horses.
| Subjects included: |
 Performance-oriented
mental improvement: how to allay show-time nerves, get rid of bad
riding habits, perform more consistently under pressure. |
| Enhancing
the pleasure rider's level of enjoyment or comfort with the sport:
conquering vague fears of riding alone, lapses in general confidence,
loss of trust in one's judgment or that of a trainer. |
| Better
management of the interpersonal and familial stresses that arise from
a serious riding commitment: balancing a passion for riding with devotion
to spouse or family, parental evaluation of training programs for
young children, ways to incorporate sportsmanship into training programs
geared toward winning championship points. |
| Also
included: the psychology of teaching and of running a riding business,
the relationships between trainers and the parents of minors they
have in training, and the masked signs of stress often experienced
by trainers, riders and members of the riders' families. |
