Amateur Dressage

This video lesson is meant to provide amateur dressage riders an idea of what a sports psychology session is like.  Amateurs often spend a lot of time and resources preparing their horses, taking lessons, putting their horses in training, and attending to their horses' physical well-being.  Using sports psychology to develop the mental skills for improving one's performance and enjoyment of dressage are not as common for amateur dressage riders.

In this lesson, Eileen Keipper, M.A., M.S., of Mental Edge Consulting, a certified sports psychologist who specializes in equestrian sports, meets with Maddie, a young rider, and helps her define goals and solutions to specific training challenges she is facing in her riding.  The session is abbreviated for the sake of the video and meant to give amateur riders an insight into what an actual sports psychology session is like.
