RIDE BIG Confidence Builder

RIDE BIG

The Ultimate Guide to Building Equestrian Confidence

Trafalgar Square Books is pleased to announce the release of Ride Big by John Haime.

Without confidence, achievement in compe��on is una�ainable. When confidence is lacking in any sport, equestrian included, chances are your career will be short. Renowned performance coach John Haime has wri�en the book to counter this challenge, providing the mental tools riders need to be be�er under pressure of all kinds and consistently succeed. Equestrian sport is a partnership: there’s an equine athlete, and there’s a human athlete. Haime notes that o�en, there is an investment in worldclass training for one partner (the horse), but not the other (the human). This compromises the poten�al effec�veness of the horse-and-rider team. It just makes sense for equestrians to develop their own skills—mental and physical—and bring more to the partnership.

Haime explains that there is what he believes is a crisis of confidence in modern equestrian sport. Addressing this crisis enables equestrians of all ages and abilities to communicate better with their horses, absorb more in valuable learning situations, and perform their best when the stakes are high. And the way riders develop confidence in their equestrian lives is transferable to everything they do: a confident rider can be a confident business person, confident worker, confident spouse, confident parent, and confident friend. In this way, Ride Big instills the skills to strengthen self-worth and personal promise in ways that extend far beyond the show ring.

JOHN HAIME is a former tournament professional golfer who left his life as a professional athlete to first produce workplace learning programs and eventually blend his areas of experience and knowledge into an innovative system of performance coaching. He has helped some of the world’s top performers in sports, business, and entertainment build mental and emotional muscle so they can maximize their abilities, creating a winning formula of sport psychology, emotional intelligence, performance psychology, neuroscience, and executive coaching. Haime is the author of You Are a Contender! Build Emotional Muscle to Perform* Better and Achieve More ... in Business, Sports, and Life and is based in Canada (johnhaime.com).
