When Emily Esau Williams first started working with me, she wasn’t sure she needed mental performance coaching.

After all, she was already a successful rider.

But success doesn’t mean you’ve reached your full potential.

The best athletes know there’s always another level to unlock, and often, it isn’t physical. It’s mental. 🧠

In this testimonial, Emily shares how mental performance coaching helped her approach riding differently and why having the flexibility to work through the online lessons made it easy to fit into her busy schedule.

Thank you, Emily, for sharing your experience and trusting me to be part of your journey.

If you’ve ever thought, “I’m doing well, so this probably isn’t for me,” I encourage you to listen to Emily’s story. You might be surprised by what’s possible when you start training your mind with the same intention you train your riding.

We spend hours training our horses, walking courses, and refining every detail of our riding.

But how often do we train the voice in our own head?

Your mindset influences every decision you make in the saddle — from how you respond to pressure to how quickly you recover from mistakes. Mental performance isn’t about “thinking positive.” It’s about building habits that help you stay focused, confident, and consistent.

Which of these reminders resonates with you the most?

What’s the one thing you tell yourself before you head into the ring?

Or maybe the better question is… what are the words that light a fire under you? 🔥

For the past three seasons, Kyle King () has been working with Jim Hickey to strengthen the part of his performance that most people never see. In this testimonial, Kyle shares how learning to manage pressure, quiet self-doubt, and trust his process has helped him become a more confident, consistent rider in the ring.

Mental performance isn’t just for the professionals. It’s for any rider who wants to compete with more confidence, recover faster from mistakes, and perform at their best when it matters most.

If you’ve ever struggled with competition nerves, overthinking, fear of making mistakes, or confidence in the saddle, you’re not alone and you don’t have to figure it out by yourself.

The best rides happen when your mind and your horse are in the same place.
If you’re constantly thinking about the outcome, you’re missing the moment.
Stay connected.
Stay present.
Trust the process.
That’s where real confidence begins. 💙

Big change doesn’t always start with a big step.
Sometimes it’s as simple as picking up a blue pen.

Confidence setbacks are often less about skill and more about fear left behind from a past fall.
Your mind is trying to keep you safe...but growth happens when you learn to trust yourself again, one ride at a time. 🤍✨

The biggest competition isn’t the one happening in the ring...it’s the one happening in your mind.🧠

When riders get caught up in comparisons, distractions, and outcomes, they lose connection with what matters most: their horse.

Learn how to stay present, trust your preparation, and ride with confidence from the first fence to the last. ✨🎯
