To be at the top of your game, you need to have drive, skill, talent, the right horses, and a lot of practice…

You also need the mental ability to handle the competitive nature of your equine sport and perform your best under pressure. There are many factors that contribute to success in the arena. I understand these aspects personally because I am a competitive barrel racer and grew up in a ranching family that competed in flat track racing, chariot racing, roping, and barrel racing.

Personally, I have had the honor of campaigning several outstanding home-grown horses, and a sampling of my accomplishments in the arena include: 

• Set three arena records on two different horses
• 2016 Better Barrel Races World Finals 1D Champion
• 2016 Run For the Bonus World Finals 1D Champion
• 2016 Equi-Stat Top 1D Mountain States Divisional Horse and Divisional Rider
• 2016 Mountain States WPRA Circuit Year-End Standings Reserve Champion and WPRA Circuit Finals Reserve Champion
• Multiple qualifications to The American and a top 30 Semi-Finals Qualifier
• Cheyenne “Daddy of ’em All” Rodeo Finals Qualifier
• Futurity and Derby Wins:
  • 5-State Breeders Barrel Futurity Champion, winning both long go-rounds and setting and event record for the fastest time in 5-States history in the short go
  • Colorado Classic Derby Champion & Stallion Incentive Champion
  • Colorado Classic Stallion Incentive Futurity Champion and Open Futurity Reserve Champion
  • South West Desert Classic Non-Pro Champions

Consider allowing me to help you improve your performance through life coaching techniques developed for sport performance.

It is important to understand that sport coaching services are different than traditional psychotherapy. Therefore, sport coaching is specifically different than the services I offer as a clinical psychologist. Coaching focuses on identifying and enhancing skills you already have and increasing their effectiveness, identifying factors that limit your performance and creating interventions that decrease or eliminate their impact, improving focus, optimizing anxiety’s role in success, and increasing your mental skill set related to performance. Sport coaching focuses exclusively on improving performance in your sport of choice. Conversely, psychotherapy focuses on mental health through diagnosing mental illness, creating interventions to reduce or eliminate symptoms, and improve quality of life. If mental health considerations become apparent in our work together in sport coaching, I will make appropriate referrals to other qualified professionals for you to address these mental health aspects.
