#33: Trying to change your self image? (Aren’t we all!)
To change our self-image means changing how we see ourselves. We need to believe in the version of ourselves we desire - belief cues the subconscious into action!

#32: How’s your sportsmanship? (Let’s straighten those crowns!)
While we may be anthropologically wired to look for the negative, it doesn’t mean we have to find it in other people. Let’s chat about how we can lift each other up in a sport that too often enjoys taking the low road.

#31: Your response is everything (and you control it!)
Life happens, but it’s how we respond that makes all the difference. The same applies to our reaction to ring nerves and performance anxiety. We have to make the same sort of plan for our reactions to stress as we do our plans for our dogs and skill-building. Today let’s dive into getting in control of our responses!

#29: Are you sabotaging yourself? (Clean up your language)
How do we sabotage ourselves? Oh, it’s easy - we just say some really negative stuff to ourselves right before we walk into the ring! Am I the only one who’s done that? Thankfully we can get more control over our not-so-helpful thoughts and replace them with ones that will build our confidence and help us perform.

#28: Do we want to be tough? (Or resilient?)
People talk a lot about mental “toughness” but I don’t think that’s the right way to look at it - certainly not the total picture. Let’s break down the difference between toughness and resilience and learn why “tough” tweaks me!

Just love everything Julie talks about. Many people think agility is just about teaching the obstacles but then you get sucked into the game and realize how much mental management is required.
Perfect Timing!
Brilliant podcast topic and perfect timing! Just what I need as I begin my journey in agility together with my boy. I’ve listened, I’m subscribed, and I will be taking notes. Thanks Julie!
