For any rider or trainer considering my 1:1 coaching program; Equestrian Rockstar Peak Performance Bootcamp. Nancy
Dye Mental Skills Coach
EQUESTRIAN ROCKSTAR BRAND AMBASSADOR, KATE EGAN, on her coaching sessions
Before coaching;
a.) I was a perfectionist.
b.) I was an overthinker.
c.) I was stressed.
How were the above problems impacting your life?
a.) If something was not perfect in my round, I would beat myself up about it. It would be hard for me to turn around my emotions for the next round.
b.) I would think things I said or did would cause others to dramatically change their viewpoints about me. Additionally, I would think if someone saw a mess up in my round they would believe I was a bad rider or not worthy of a catch ride.
c.) I felt that I had many responsibilities that I could not handle. I felt that I was unable to get them all done, and that idea scared me.
What finally had you say “enough is enough” that inspired you to work with Nancy Dye?
All of my problems started to affect my mental state and riding in the show ring. I felt less confident, I was always crying, and I wasn’t feeling myself. I knew I needed to get back to who I truly was and become the strongest rider I knew I could be.
One of my favorite aspects of coaching was not only learning the mental skills to be an equestrian rockstar, but also learning to have the time management and dedication I needed to achieve success.
Now I feel unstoppable. I feel strong and empowered enough that no tasks or challenges are too much for me to do. I can balance all aspects of my life and execute everything with success. My show and academic results have improved, and my confidence in and out of the show ring is at its peak. Nancy’s peak performance coaching has transformed me to be an unflappable equestrian in and out of the ring. I am no longer unseated in high pressure competitions – rather, I use the pressure to work for me.”
