The Olympic Question

How often do you meet young riders who want to ride in the Olympics? I love to encourage anyone who sets themselves high goals, but I also like to know if people are serious or if they are just dreaming. Some of the questions I may ask would be . . . what year do you plan to compete in your first Olympics? Tell me about your written step-by-step plan. Some one who is really serious about competing at an elite level could include regular visualization into their daily plan. In this visualization they would picture their lifestyle, what time they wake up, how many horses they ride and compete and what elite level competitions they would be ride at. They would have also worked out the finances for their competitive career and either have a sponsor/ owner or a sound, written business plan. Remember that there is nothing wrong with dreams, visualization is a great tool, planning is essential, but action needs to be taken before a goal starts to become real.   What action have you taken towards your goals today?     Glenys  🙂
