  • Confidence – a precious commodity – but easily eroded
  • One incident – whether real or imagined
  • One comment – from a “helpful” friend or thoughtless onlooker
  • One thought – “What if”, “Not again”, “Why me”.
  • Become the Confident Rider (& person) you would like (& deserve) to be.
  • Learn tools for managing –
  • Your Identity
  • Your Behaviour
  • Your Beliefs and Values
  • Your Capabilities and Skills
  • Your Environment
  • Your Thoughts
  • Your Fears
  • Your Unconscious
  • Your Life
  • YourSELF!

“The most amazing thing happened with the’ fear of what might happen’ stuff we did. When I ride now, instead of my mind going off at a million miles an hour about what may happen, it just stops, like a circuit breaker at the ‘what if? And then I focus on what I’m doing. I really wouldn’t have believed it unless I had experienced it. Thank you so much. Like I said, gaining confidence is like winning the lottery (not that I’ve ever won it sadly!) but it feels great. Just going for a hack in my lunch hour.”  S.B
