Fantastic day celebrating Ladies Day at the most prestigious event on the National Hunt calender. Witnessing the pressure on these elite jockeys’ highlighted once again that performance is 70% in the mind. The mental pressure on them is intense;
- split second decisions at 35mph,
- real and immediate physical risk,
- immense public scrutiny from owners, trainers, media and the crowd.
BUT trust in their preparation, staying 💯 focused on what they can control, staying in the moment and being totally present allows for flow, bounce back and resilience leading to a calm, focussed performance. Amazing to watch.
Good luck today and stay safe, everyone!
