Taking Control of Your Performance Anxiety

Performance anxiety is often a challenge for equestrians

For competitive equestrians: 

• Are you confident in your riding and training at home but feel like you’ve chosen the wrong sport at horse shows?

• Do you ride into the ring, and proceed to have every bit of advice your trainer just gave you leave your head?

• Do you keep a death grip on the reins, flub every transition, and leave the ring feeling like you wasted an entry fee?

• Do you find yourself stuck in the arena and afraid to hack your horse outside of the arena? 
• Does the scary part of the arena keep you from riding past there? 
• Do you just want to ride with more confidence?

If this sounds familiar, plan on attending Tucson Dressage Club’s Zoom Webinar: “Taking Control of Your Performance Anxiety”, presented by Clare Morrison. 

The Webinar will be presented on September 22, 2021, at 7:00 p.m. MST

Zoom link will be provided to all registered participants a few days prior to the webinar. 

More about Clare: 

Clare Morrison, ACC, is a popular and successful performance coach, who helps adult amateur and collegiate athletes get out of their own way to create peak performances at every level. In Clare’s words “As a recovering "rule follower," I challenge my athletes to look beyond their physical gifts to up-level their performance. I founded Proceed Collected to help my clients build world class performance habits and overcome internal blocks so that they can perform and achieve at their highest level.” Clare’s undergraduate degree in psycho-biology provides an excellent foundation in the neurology, physiology, biochemistry and psychology of high performance. Her practical experience comes from parenting a Division 1 athlete and being a nationally competitive equestrian athlete herself.

The LandSafe clinic provides you with an opportunity to see for yourself the difference rider education can make to a fall scenario. This program is designed to teach the basic skills to improve body awareness and self-preservation.

Learn best practices for falling off a horse from the LandSafe horse simulator!

LandSafe is an unmounted two day (approx. four hrs per day) training program designed to teach the best practices of fall prevention and response. The curriculum relies on one-on-one interaction as well as group learning. Riders receive ample time on the gymnastics mats where they will learn body shaping drills and exercises to reduce their rider risk in a fall scenario. On the simulator throughout the two days participants will practice a rotational fall, a rear, off the shoulder and emergency dismount.

Clinic Schedule:

Friday January 7th

5pm-7pm: Junior Session- 10 Junior participants (age 6-11 years)

Saturday January 8th

8am-12pm: 'full' session- Group 1 - 10 participants

1pm-5pm: 'full' session- Group 2 - 10 participants

5pm-7pm: Junior session- Repeat Junior Participants 

Sunday January 9th

8am-12pm: 'full' session- Group 1 participants repeat

1pm-5pm: 'full' session- Group 2 participants repeat

Day 1

Two hours of basic gymnastics skill-building will start the day. Here participants will learn the correct ways to shape, roll, position arms and wrists, balance, body awareness and the control needed to become competent in a dive roll. The next two hours will be spent transferring these skills to the simulator.

Day 2

Participants revisit the basic gymnastics skills learned on Day 1 and look for ways for you to develop stronger skills while working at home. The time spent is dependent on progress of skills, hoping to be 1 to 1.5 hours. The second part of the Day 2 session will be devoted to skills on the simulator. Here participants will also visit a variety of different types of fall scenarios.

Cost

$350/ participant for 12 and older clinic

$190/ participant for Junior Clinic (ages 6-11)
