Update: Sports Psychology Nearly Complete!

From April 2019 Hugh will have added another string to his bow – he’ll be an APEC Centre 10 accredited coach with enhanced insight into sports psychology, enabling him to support horse and rider as a complete package.

Here’s an update from Hugh on how his studies are going:

“I get a weekly online Sports Psychology session to complete. The focus in December was predominantly on goal setting and self-reflection and how it can be effectively incorporated into my riding and coaching.

I’m finding the sessions very useful so far. I’m starting to try to have more meaningful planning sessions with clients out of the saddle, rather than trying to get it all done when they’re on board!

I’ve started keeping a written log of all my competitions and lessons, which has forced me to systematically analyse what happened and what I’ve learnt.

It also gives you a written record so that you can’t twist your memories of sessions or events, either positively or negatively.”
