    EP 78// The Hidden Confidence Killers Hurting Your Performance as a Rodeo Athlete (And How to Combat Them)

    What if building confidence isn't your problem? But keeping it... In this episode of Ride Rope Rodeo, I'm breaking down the three biggest confidence killers I see in rodeo athletes: comparison, pressure, and expectations. These mental traps can steal your confidence, create self-doubt, and keep athletes from performing at their best - even when they've put in the work. I talk about how comparison injects doubt, how pressure impacts your mindset and performance, and why expectations often lead to frustration and disappointment. More importantly, I'll teach you how to rebuild confidence when these things get you off track. If you've been struggling with confidence, performance pressure, or feeling stuck in a slump, this episode will help you reset, refocus, and get back to competing with confidence and consistency.

    EP 76// Why Rodeo Athletes Struggle with Confidence and How to Fix It

    In this episode of Ride Rope Rodeo, we're talking about how real confidence is built through conviction - conviction about who you are and why you compete the way you do. We dive into identity, mindset, pressure, faith, and why performance can never be the foundation of your worth as an athlete. When your identity is rooted in Christ instead of the outcome, it changes the way you compete, respond to adversity, and carry yourself - both in and out of the arena. Inside the episode, we talk about: Confidence is built on conviction, not emotionPressure always reveals your foundation Why your performance cannot be your identity How rooted athletes compete with more freedom If you've ever struggled with pressure, comparison, self-doubt, or confidence in the arena, this episode is for you!
