A Sport Psychology Workbook for Riders
It takes more than learning the technicalities of riding to become a competent equestrian. Here, Dr. Ann Reilly shows how to become a better rider by avoiding the common psychological stumbling blocks. She offers in-depth discussions on motivation, confidence, concentration, and nutrition and complements her analyses with exercises designed to help every rider achieve peak performance. Special sections on preparing for competitions, in all the various riding disciplines, will be invaluable to those seeking to improve their results in the show ring. Though geared toward the equestrian, Reilly's strategies are beneficial to anyone who is seeking success. Ann Reilly has taught at the University of Virginia and Sweet Briar College. She is co-editor of the standard work "Sport Psychology: Psychological Considerations in Maximizing Sport Performance" and lives in Virginia.
