  Hello,
• 0:00
  everyone.
• 0:01
  Welcome
• 0:02
  back
• 0:02
  to
• 0:02
  Two
• 0:02
  Point
• 0:03
  Perspective.
• 0:04
  It's
• 0:04
  Elizabeth.
• 0:05
  And
• 0:05
  today
• 0:06
  we're
• 0:07
  continuing
• 0:07
  to
• 0:08
  talk
• 0:08
  about
• 0:08
  something
• 0:09
  we
• 0:09
  touched
• 0:09
  on
• 0:09
  a
• 0:09
  little
• 0:10
  bit
• 0:10
  last
• 0:10
  week,
• 0:11
  the
• 0:11
  idea
• 0:12
  of
• 0:12
  detours.
• 0:13
  Because
• 0:14
  detours
• 0:15
  happen
• 0:15
  in
• 0:16
  riding.
• 0:17
  Sometimes
• 0:17
  it's
• 0:17
  the
• 0:18
  horse,
• 0:18
  sometimes
• 0:19
  it's
• 0:19
  us,
• 0:20
  and
• 0:20
  sometimes
• 0:21
  it's
• 0:21
  just
• 0:21
  life.
• 0:22
  And
• 0:22
  it
• 0:22
  can
• 0:23
  change
• 0:23
  more
• 0:23
  than
• 0:24
  just
• 0:24
  the
• 0:24
  plan.
• 0:25
  Whether
• 0:25
  it's
• 0:26
  an
• 0:26
  illness,
• 0:27
  a
• 0:27
  surgery,
• 0:28
  an
• 0:28
  injury,
• 0:29
  burnout,
• 0:30
  a
• 0:30
  fall,
• 0:31
  a
• 0:31
  horse
• 0:32
  setback,
• 0:32
  or
• 0:33
  simply
• 0:33
  life
• 0:33
  changing
• 0:34
  the
• 0:34
  plan.
• 0:35
  The
• 0:35
  question
• 0:36
  riders
• 0:37
  quietly
• 0:37
  live
• 0:38
  with
• 0:38
  is,
• 0:39
  what
• 0:39
  if
• 0:39
  I
• 0:40
  can't
• 0:40
  come
• 0:40
  back
• 0:40
  the
• 0:41
  same?
• 0:41
  Or
• 0:42
  even
• 0:42
  worse,
• 0:43
  what
• 0:43
  if
• 0:43
  I
• 0:44
  can't
• 0:44
  come
• 0:44
  back
• 0:44
  at
• 0:45
  all?
• 0:45
  And
• 0:46
  that's
• 0:46
  not
• 0:47
  theoretical
• 0:47
  for
• 0:48
  us
• 0:48
  right
• 0:48
  now.
• 0:49
  Reynolds
• 0:50
  is
• 0:50
  in
• 0:50
  surgery
• 0:51
  recovery
• 0:51
  mode
• 0:52
  this
• 0:52
  week,
• 0:52
  and
• 0:52
  she's
• 0:53
  doing
• 0:53
  great.
• 0:54
  She's
• 0:55
  strong
• 0:55
  and
• 0:55
  she's
• 0:56
  surrounded
• 0:56
  by
• 0:57
  love.
• 0:58
  But
• 0:58
  it's
• 0:58
  a
• 0:58
  reminder
• 0:59
  that
• 0:59
  life
• 0:59
  can
• 1:00
  interrupt
• 1:00
  your
• 1:00
  rhythm
• 1:01
  at
• 1:01
  any
• 1:02
  moment,
• 1:03
  even
• 1:03
  when
• 1:03
  you're
• 1:03
  doing
• 1:04
  everything
• 1:04
  right.
• 1:05
  So
• 1:06
  today's
• 1:06
  episode
• 1:07
  is
• 1:07
  about
• 1:07
  the
• 1:08
  part
• 1:08
  we
• 1:08
  don't
• 1:08
  talk
• 1:09
  about
• 1:09
  enough.
• 1:10
  When
• 1:10
  you
• 1:10
  hit
• 1:11
  a
• 1:11
  detour,
• 1:12
  whether
• 1:12
  it's
• 1:13
  physically
• 1:13
  or
• 1:13
  emotionally,
• 1:15
  why
• 1:15
  does
• 1:15
  it
• 1:16
  change
• 1:16
  the
• 1:16
  way
• 1:16
  you
• 1:17
  ride?
• 1:17
  And
• 1:18
  why
• 1:18
  it
• 1:18
  isn't
• 1:19
  always
• 1:19
  something
• 1:20
  you
• 1:20
  can
• 1:20
  just
• 1:20
  fix
• 1:21
  alone
• 1:22
  by
• 1:22
  deciding
• 1:23
  to
• 1:23
  be
• 1:23
  brave.
• 1:24
  And
• 1:24
  a
• 1:24
  quick
• 1:25
  update.
• 1:25
  Last
• 1:26
  week,
• 1:26
  I
• 1:26
  said
• 1:27
  we'd
• 1:27
  be
• 1:27
  sharing
• 1:27
  a
• 1:28
  college
• 1:28
  rider's
• 1:29
  concussion
• 1:29
  story.
• 1:30
  That
• 1:30
  conversation
• 1:31
  is
• 1:31
  still
• 1:32
  coming,
• 1:32
  but
• 1:32
  the
• 1:33
  timing
• 1:33
  is
• 1:34
  shifted.
• 1:35
  So
• 1:35
  today
• 1:35
  I'm
• 1:36
  joined
• 1:36
  by
• 1:36
  Samantha
• 1:37
  Shanks
• 1:38
  husbands
• 1:38
  from
• 1:38
  Prepare
• 1:39
  to
• 1:39
  Win
• 1:40
  to
• 1:40
  talk
• 1:40
  about
• 1:41
  what
• 1:41
  happens
• 1:42
  when
• 1:42
  riding
• 1:43
  and
• 1:43
  life
• 1:44
  take
• 1:44
  a
• 1:44
  detour.
• 1:46
  Riding
• 1:46
  is
• 1:46
  a
• 1:46
  sport
• 1:47
  where
• 1:47
  your
• 1:47
  nervous
• 1:47
  system
• 1:48
  learns
• 1:49
  really
• 1:49
  fast.
• 1:50
  And
• 1:51
  after
• 1:51
  a
• 1:51
  detour,
• 1:52
  an
• 1:52
  injury,
• 1:53
  an
• 1:53
  illness,
• 1:53
  a
• 1:54
  surgery,
• 1:54
  a
• 1:54
  scare
• 1:55
  or
• 1:55
  a
• 1:56
  fall,
• 1:56
  your
• 1:57
  brain
• 1:57
  starts
• 1:58
  scanning
• 1:58
  for
• 1:58
  danger.
• 1:59
  It
• 2:00
  looks
• 2:00
  for
• 2:01
  danger
• 2:01
  in
• 2:01
  every
• 2:02
  chip,
• 2:03
  every
• 2:03
  spook,
• 2:04
  every
• 2:04
  moment
• 2:05
  you
• 2:05
  feel
• 2:06
  anything
• 2:06
  out
• 2:07
  of
• 2:07
  position,
• 2:08
  every
• 2:08
  distance
• 2:09
  that
• 2:09
  doesn't
• 2:10
  show
• 2:10
  up.
• 2:11
  And
• 2:11
  riders
• 2:12
  are
• 2:12
  so
• 2:12
  good
• 2:13
  at
• 2:13
  hiding
• 2:13
  it.
• 2:14
  We
• 2:15
  keep
• 2:15
  showing
• 2:16
  up,
• 2:16
  we
• 2:16
  keep
• 2:17
  going
• 2:17
  to
• 2:17
  the
• 2:17
  barn,
• 2:18
  we
• 2:18
  keep
• 2:19
  going
• 2:19
  into
• 2:19
  the
• 2:20
  ring.
• 2:20
  And
• 2:20
  we
• 2:20
  say,
• 2:21
  I'm
• 2:21
  fine.
• 2:22
  But
• 2:22
  your
• 2:23
  body
• 2:23
  tells
• 2:23
  the
• 2:24
  truth.
• 2:25
  Anxiety
• 2:25
  in
• 2:25
  the
• 2:26
  saddle
• 2:27
  doesn't
• 2:27
  always
• 2:27
  look
• 2:28
  like
• 2:28
  panic.
• 2:29
  Sometimes
• 2:30
  it
• 2:30
  looks
• 2:30
  like
• 2:30
  you're
• 2:31
  bracing,
• 2:32
  freezing,
• 2:34
  riding
• 2:34
  defensively,
• 2:36
  holding
• 2:36
  your
• 2:36
  breath.
• 2:37
  That's
• 2:38
  really
• 2:38
  the
• 2:38
  worst.
• 2:39
  Or
• 2:40
  riding
• 2:41
  like
• 2:41
  you're
• 2:41
  preparing
• 2:42
  for
• 2:42
  an
• 2:42
  impact.
• 2:43
  And
• 2:44
  the
• 2:44
  tough
• 2:44
  part
• 2:44
  is
• 2:45
  you
• 2:45
  can
• 2:46
  still
• 2:46
  be
• 2:46
  riding
• 2:47
  while
• 2:47
  silently
• 2:48
  not
• 2:48
  trusting
• 2:49
  any
• 2:50
  of
• 2:50
  it.
• 2:51
  I
• 2:51
  had
• 2:51
  a
• 2:51
  horse
• 2:52
  a
• 2:52
  couple
• 2:52
  of
• 2:52
  years
• 2:52
  ago
• 2:53
  that
• 2:53
  created
• 2:54
  a
• 2:54
  very
• 2:54
  specific
• 2:55
  kind
• 2:55
  of
• 2:55
  fear
• 2:56
  pattern
• 2:56
  in
• 2:57
  me.
• 2:58
  If
• 2:58
  you
• 2:58
  lost
• 2:59
  your
• 2:59
  rhythm
• 3:00
  to
• 3:00
  the
• 3:00
  jump,
• 3:01
  you
• 3:01
  missed.
• 3:02
  But
• 3:03
  if
• 3:03
  you
• 3:03
  missed,
• 3:04
  he
• 3:04
  would
• 3:04
  still
• 3:04
  jump.
• 3:05
  And
• 3:05
  he
• 3:05
  jumped.
• 3:06
  Whether
• 3:06
  it
• 3:06
  was
• 3:06
  long,
• 3:07
  short,
• 3:07
  didn't
• 3:07
  make
• 3:07
  any
• 3:08
  difference
• 3:08
  because
• 3:09
  he
• 3:09
  was
• 3:10
  incredibly
• 3:10
  athletic.
• 3:12
  And
• 3:12
  when
• 3:12
  he
• 3:12
  jumped,
• 3:13
  he
• 3:13
  Jumped
• 3:13
  really
• 3:14
  hard
• 3:14
  and
• 3:15
  it
• 3:15
  knocked
• 3:15
  you
• 3:16
  loose.
• 3:16
  And.
• 3:17
  And
• 3:17
  then
• 3:17
  I
• 3:17
  don't
• 3:18
  know
• 3:18
  how
• 3:18
  this
• 3:19
  happened,
• 3:19
  but
• 3:19
  on
• 3:19
  the
• 3:19
  other
• 3:20
  side,
• 3:21
  maybe
• 3:21
  because
• 3:22
  you
• 3:22
  lost
• 3:22
  your
• 3:22
  leg,
• 3:23
  but
• 3:23
  he
• 3:24
  would
• 3:24
  stop.
• 3:25
  So
• 3:25
  it
• 3:25
  wasn't
• 3:26
  just
• 3:26
  a
• 3:26
  mistake.
• 3:27
  You
• 3:28
  were
• 3:28
  suddenly
• 3:28
  a
• 3:29
  flying
• 3:29
  object
• 3:30
  and
• 3:30
  then
• 3:31
  stuck
• 3:31
  trying
• 3:32
  to
• 3:32
  recover
• 3:32
  your
• 3:33
  balance
• 3:33
  at
• 3:33
  the
• 3:33
  worst
• 3:34
  possible
• 3:34
  moment.
• 3:35
  So,
• 3:35
  needless
• 3:36
  to
• 3:36
  say,
• 3:37
  you
• 3:37
  landed
• 3:37
  on
• 3:37
  the
• 3:38
  ground
• 3:38
  pretty
• 3:38
  often.
• 3:39
  And
• 3:39
  it
• 3:40
  happened
• 3:40
  enough
• 3:40
  that
• 3:41
  my
• 3:41
  body
• 3:42
  stopped
• 3:42
  trusting
• 3:43
  the
• 3:43
  process.
• 3:44
  And.
• 3:44
  And
• 3:45
  what
• 3:45
  I
• 3:45
  didn't
• 3:45
  realize
• 3:46
  at
• 3:46
  the
• 3:46
  time
• 3:47
  was
• 3:48
  that
• 3:49
  your
• 3:49
  body
• 3:49
  adapts
• 3:50
  to
• 3:50
  try
• 3:50
  to
• 3:51
  protect
• 3:51
  you.
• 3:52
  So
• 3:52
  I
• 3:53
  couldn't
• 3:53
  sit
• 3:53
  up
• 3:53
  straight.
• 3:54
  I
• 3:54
  was
• 3:54
  all
• 3:54
  hunched
• 3:55
  over.
• 3:55
  I
• 3:56
  rode
• 3:56
  in
• 3:56
  fetal
• 3:57
  position,
• 3:58
  and
• 3:58
  I
• 3:58
  constantly
• 3:59
  looked
• 4:00
  down.
• 4:00
  It
• 4:01
  was
• 4:01
  like
• 4:02
  I
• 4:02
  needed
• 4:02
  to
• 4:02
  see
• 4:03
  what
• 4:03
  was
• 4:03
  coming,
• 4:04
  like
• 4:04
  the
• 4:04
  ground
• 4:05
  was
• 4:05
  coming
• 4:05
  soon.
• 4:06
  And
• 4:07
  that's
• 4:07
  what
• 4:07
  a
• 4:07
  detour
• 4:08
  can
• 4:08
  look
• 4:08
  like
• 4:09
  in
• 4:09
  riding.
• 4:10
  It's
• 4:10
  not
• 4:10
  drama,
• 4:11
  it's
• 4:11
  not
• 4:12
  weakness.
• 4:12
  It's.
• 4:13
  It's
• 4:13
  just
• 4:13
  protection
• 4:14
  patterns.
• 4:15
  And
• 4:16
  the
• 4:16
  hard
• 4:16
  part
• 4:17
  is
• 4:17
  you
• 4:17
  can't
• 4:18
  always
• 4:18
  think
• 4:18
  your
• 4:19
  way
• 4:19
  out
• 4:19
  of
• 4:19
  it.
• 4:19
  I
• 4:20
  mean,
• 4:20
  I
• 4:20
  knew
• 4:20
  what
• 4:20
  I
• 4:20
  was
• 4:21
  doing
• 4:21
  wrong,
• 4:22
  and
• 4:22
  that's
• 4:23
  why
• 4:23
  I
• 4:23
  needed
• 4:23
  to
• 4:24
  bring
• 4:24
  in
• 4:24
  someone
• 4:25
  who's
• 4:25
  helped
• 4:26
  so
• 4:26
  many
• 4:26
  riders,
• 4:27
  including
• 4:27
  me,
• 4:28
  climb
• 4:28
  out
• 4:28
  of
• 4:29
  that
• 4:29
  spiral.
• 4:30
  Samantha

  Shanks,
• 4:31
  husband
• 4:32
  from
• 4:33
  Prepare
• 4:33
  to
• 4:33
  Win,
• 4:34
  works
• 4:34
  with
• 4:34
  riders
• 4:35
  on
• 4:35
  confidence,
• 4:37
  performance,
• 4:37
  mindset,
• 4:38
  and
• 4:39
  anxiety,
• 4:40
  especially
• 4:40
  after
• 4:41
  falls,
• 4:42
  injuries,
• 4:42
  and
• 4:43
  setbacks.
• 4:44
  Sam
• 4:45
  is
• 4:45
  a
• 4:45
  trusted
• 4:46
  resource,
• 4:46
  a
• 4:46
  great
• 4:47
  friend,
• 4:47
  and
• 4:48
  she's
• 4:48
  been
• 4:48
  the
• 4:48
  person
• 4:49
  I
• 4:49
  leaned
• 4:50
  on
• 4:50
  when
• 4:50
  my
• 4:50
  riding
• 4:51
  anxiety
• 4:52
  was
• 4:52
  real
• 4:53
  and
• 4:53
  physically
• 4:54
  affecting
• 4:54
  the
• 4:54
  way
• 4:55
  I
• 4:55
  rode.
• 4:56
  Sam,
• 4:56
  I'm
• 4:57
  so
• 4:57
  glad
• 4:57
  you're
• 4:57
  here.
• 4:58
  Welcome
• 4:59
  to
• 4:59
  Two
• 4:59
  Point
• 5:00
  Perspective.
• 5:01
  Hi,
• 5:02
  Elizabeth.
• 5:02
  Thank
• 5:03
  you
• 5:03
  so
• 5:03
  much
• 5:03
  for
• 5:03
  having
• 5:03
  me
• 5:04
  here
• 5:04
  today.
• 5:05
  Okay,
• 5:06
  first
• 5:06
  question.
• 5:07
  What
• 5:08
  is
• 5:08
  actually
• 5:08
  happening
• 5:09
  in
• 5:09
  a
• 5:09
  rider's
• 5:10
  brain
• 5:10
  and
• 5:11
  nervous
• 5:11
  system
• 5:12
  after
• 5:12
  a
• 5:12
  detour?
• 5:13
  Whether
• 5:13
  it's
• 5:14
  an
• 5:14
  injury,
• 5:15
  an
• 5:15
  illness,
• 5:16
  surgery,
• 5:17
  or
• 5:17
  a
• 5:17
  scare,
• 5:18
  why
• 5:19
  does
• 5:19
  anxiety
• 5:19
  show
• 5:20
  up
• 5:20
  even
• 5:20
  when
• 5:20
  we're
• 5:21
  physically
• 5:21
  okay?
• 5:22
  And
• 5:22
  why
• 5:23
  does
• 5:23
  it
• 5:23
  stick?
• 5:24
  Well,
• 5:25
  what
• 5:25
  most
• 5:25
  people
• 5:26
  don't
• 5:26
  realize,
• 5:26
  Elizabeth,
• 5:27
  is
• 5:27
  that
• 5:28
  anxiety
• 5:29
  after
• 5:29
  a
• 5:30
  scare,
• 5:30
  and
• 5:30
  as
• 5:31
  you've
• 5:31
  said,
• 5:31
  it
• 5:31
  doesn't
• 5:32
  have
• 5:32
  to
• 5:32
  be
• 5:32
  a
• 5:32
  fall
• 5:33
  or
• 5:33
  a
• 5:33
  bad
• 5:33
  experience.
• 5:34
  It
• 5:34
  can
• 5:34
  be
• 5:35
  a
• 5:35
  bereavement,
• 5:37
  divorce,
• 5:39
  any.
• 5:39
  Any
• 5:40
  life
• 5:40
  change
• 5:40
  that
• 5:40
  affects
• 5:41
  how
• 5:41
  safe
• 5:42
  the
• 5:42
  brain
• 5:42
  feels
• 5:43
  in
• 5:43
  the
• 5:43
  world.
• 5:44
  It's
• 5:44
  not
• 5:45
  a
• 5:45
  confidence
• 5:46
  issue.
• 5:47
  It's
• 5:47
  a
• 5:47
  nervous
• 5:48
  system
• 5:48
  response.
• 5:49
  When
• 5:50
  something
• 5:50
  frightening
• 5:51
  happens,
• 5:51
  whether
• 5:52
  it's
• 5:52
  illness,
• 5:53
  surgery,
• 5:54
  or
• 5:54
  something
• 5:54
  else,
• 5:55
  your
• 5:56
  brain
• 5:56
  learns
• 5:56
  very
• 5:57
  quickly.
• 5:58
  Not
• 5:58
  in
• 5:58
  the
• 5:58
  logical
• 5:59
  thinking
• 5:59
  part,
• 6:00
  but
• 6:00
  in
• 6:00
  the
• 6:01
  automatic
• 6:01
  survival
• 6:02
  system.
• 6:03
  So
• 6:03
  the
• 6:03
  system
• 6:04
  isn't
• 6:04
  asking,
• 6:05
  can
• 6:06
  I
• 6:06
  still
• 6:06
  do
• 6:06
  this?
• 6:08
  It's
• 6:08
  asking,
• 6:09
  how
• 6:09
  do
• 6:09
  I
• 6:09
  make
• 6:10
  sure
• 6:11
  this
• 6:11
  never
• 6:11
  happens
• 6:12
  again?
• 6:13
  So
• 6:14
  it
• 6:14
  stays
• 6:14
  on
• 6:14
  alert,
• 6:15
  it
• 6:16
  scans
• 6:16
  for
• 6:16
  danger,
• 6:17
  and
• 6:17
  it
• 6:18
  creates
• 6:18
  protective
• 6:19
  patterns
• 6:20
  in
• 6:20
  the
• 6:20
  body
• 6:21
  and
• 6:22
  in
• 6:22
  riding
• 6:22
  that
• 6:23
  might
• 6:23
  look
• 6:23
  like
• 6:24
  bracing,
• 6:25
  holding
• 6:25
  Your
• 6:26
  breath,
• 6:26
  riding
• 6:27
  defensively,
• 6:28
  feeling
• 6:29
  tense
• 6:29
  before
• 6:29
  you
• 6:29
  even
• 6:30
  get
• 6:30
  on.
• 6:30
  Or
• 6:31
  it
• 6:31
  could
• 6:31
  just
• 6:32
  show
• 6:32
  up
• 6:32
  as
• 6:32
  wanting
• 6:33
  to
• 6:33
  avoid
• 6:33
  doing
• 6:33
  certain
• 6:34
  things.
• 6:35
  And
• 6:36
  this
• 6:36
  all
• 6:36
  happens
• 6:37
  outside
• 6:38
  your
• 6:38
  conscious
• 6:39
  awareness
• 6:40
  and
• 6:40
  is
• 6:40
  beyond
• 6:41
  your
• 6:41
  conscious
• 6:42
  control.
• 6:43
  And
• 6:43
  this
• 6:43
  is
• 6:44
  why
• 6:44
  it
• 6:44
  sticks.
• 6:45
  Because
• 6:46
  time,
• 6:47
  logic,
• 6:47
  reassurance,
• 6:48
  or
• 6:48
  telling
• 6:49
  yourself
• 6:49
  to
• 6:49
  be
• 6:49
  brave,
• 6:50
  don't
• 6:51
  update
• 6:52
  that
• 6:52
  system.
• 6:53
  So
• 6:54
  you
• 6:54
  can
• 6:54
  rationally
• 6:55
  know
• 6:55
  you're
• 6:55
  safe
• 6:56
  and
• 6:57
  still
• 6:57
  feel
• 6:57
  anxious,
• 6:59
  because
• 6:59
  your
• 6:59
  lower
• 7:00
  brain,
• 7:00
  the
• 7:00
  part
• 7:01
  wired
• 7:01
  for
• 7:01
  survival,
• 7:02
  hasn't
• 7:03
  learned
• 7:03
  it
• 7:03
  yet.
• 7:04
  And
• 7:05
  this
• 7:05
  matters
• 7:05
  because
• 7:06
  the
• 7:06
  lower
• 7:06
  brain
• 7:07
  can
• 7:07
  dull
• 7:08
  or
• 7:09
  even
• 7:09
  shut
• 7:09
  down
• 7:10
  the
• 7:10
  rational
• 7:11
  thinking
• 7:11
  part
• 7:12
  of
• 7:12
  the
• 7:12
  brain.
• 7:13
  And
• 7:14
  the
• 7:14
  brain
• 7:14
  evolved
• 7:15
  this
• 7:15
  way
• 7:15
  for
• 7:15
  our
• 7:15
  protection.
• 7:16
  And
• 7:17
  that
• 7:17
  was
• 7:17
  great
• 7:18
  hundreds
• 7:18
  of
• 7:18
  years
• 7:18
  ago
• 7:19
  when
• 7:19
  we
• 7:19
  were
• 7:19
  dodging
• 7:20
  predators.
• 7:21
  But
• 7:21
  when
• 7:21
  it's
• 7:22
  firing
• 7:22
  off
• 7:22
  inappropriately
• 7:23
  and
• 7:24
  stealing
• 7:24
  the
• 7:24
  enjoyment
• 7:25
  from
• 7:25
  our
• 7:25
  riding,
• 7:26
  it's
• 7:27
  just
• 7:27
  not
• 7:27
  serving
• 7:27
  us
• 7:28
  at
• 7:28
  all.
• 7:29
  And
• 7:29
  this
• 7:29
  is
• 7:30
  why
• 7:30
  nerves,
• 7:31
  anxiety
• 7:31
  and
• 7:31
  fear
• 7:32
  can
• 7:32
  be
• 7:32
  so
• 7:33
  confusing,
• 7:34
  because
• 7:34
  they
• 7:35
  don't
• 7:35
  live
• 7:35
  in
• 7:35
  logic,
• 7:36
  they
• 7:37
  live
• 7:37
  in
• 7:37
  that
• 7:37
  lower
• 7:38
  part
• 7:38
  of
• 7:38
  the
• 7:38
  brain
• 7:39
  wired
• 7:39
  for
• 7:39
  survival.
• 7:40
  And
• 7:41
  this
• 7:41
  is
• 7:41
  why,
• 7:42
  even
• 7:42
  if
• 7:42
  you
• 7:42
  know
• 7:43
  you
• 7:43
  have
• 7:43
  the
• 7:43
  skill
• 7:43
  and
• 7:44
  ability
• 7:44
  to
• 7:44
  do
• 7:44
  something,
• 7:45
  you
• 7:45
  know
• 7:45
  your
• 7:46
  horse
• 7:46
  is
• 7:46
  capable,
• 7:47
  you
• 7:47
  can
• 7:48
  still
• 7:48
  experience
• 7:49
  anxiety,
• 7:50
  nerves
• 7:51
  and
• 7:51
  fear.
• 7:52
  And
• 7:52
  the
• 7:52
  important
• 7:53
  thing
• 7:53
  I
• 7:53
  want
• 7:53
  people
• 7:54
  to
• 7:54
  hear
• 7:54
  is
• 7:54
  this,
• 7:55
  no
• 7:55
  matter
• 7:56
  how
• 7:56
  anxious
• 7:57
  or
• 7:57
  nervous
• 7:57
  you
• 7:58
  are,
• 7:58
  we
• 7:59
  can
• 7:59
  retrain
• 8:00
  and
• 8:01
  rewire
• 8:01
  your
• 8:01
  brain
• 8:02
  so
• 8:02
  you
• 8:03
  can
• 8:03
  become
• 8:03
  a
• 8:04
  calmer,
• 8:04
  more
• 8:04
  confident
• 8:05
  rider
• 8:05
  and
• 8:06
  bring
• 8:06
  the
• 8:06
  enjoyment
• 8:07
  back
• 8:07
  to
• 8:07
  riding.
• 8:08
  Even
• 8:08
  if
• 8:09
  you've
• 8:09
  had
• 8:09
  a
• 8:09
  bad
• 8:09
  fall
• 8:10
  or
• 8:10
  some
• 8:11
  other
• 8:11
  life
• 8:12
  event
• 8:12
  that
• 8:13
  has
• 8:13
  put
• 8:13
  your
• 8:13
  brain
• 8:14
  into
• 8:15
  constant
• 8:15
  survival
• 8:16
  mode.
• 8:17
  So
• 8:18
  it's
• 8:18
  not
• 8:18
  weakness,
• 8:19
  it's
• 8:19
  protection.
• 8:21
  What's
• 8:22
  the
• 8:22
  difference
• 8:22
  between
• 8:23
  normal
• 8:23
  nerves
• 8:24
  and
• 8:24
  fear?
• 8:25
  That's
• 8:25
  become
• 8:25
  a
• 8:26
  pattern.
• 8:27
  So
• 8:27
  you're
• 8:27
  absolutely
• 8:28
  right,
• 8:28
  it
• 8:29
  is
• 8:29
  protection,
• 8:30
  not
• 8:30
  weakness.
• 8:31
  And
• 8:32
  many
• 8:32
  riders
• 8:33
  don't
• 8:33
  even
• 8:33
  realise
• 8:34
  they're
• 8:34
  bracing
• 8:35
  until
• 8:35
  someone
• 8:35
  points
• 8:36
  it
• 8:36
  out.
• 8:36
  Because
• 8:37
  it
• 8:37
  can
• 8:37
  become
• 8:38
  automatic,
• 8:40
  your
• 8:40
  brain
• 8:41
  genuinely
• 8:42
  believes
• 8:42
  it's
• 8:42
  keeping
• 8:42
  you
• 8:43
  safe.
• 8:44
  Of
• 8:44
  course,
• 8:44
  it's
• 8:45
  actually
• 8:45
  doing
• 8:45
  the
• 8:45
  opposite,
• 8:46
  because
• 8:47
  your
• 8:47
  horse
• 8:47
  is
• 8:48
  constantly
• 8:48
  reading
• 8:48
  your
• 8:49
  limbic
• 8:49
  system.
• 8:50
  And
• 8:50
  when
• 8:50
  your
• 8:51
  fight
• 8:51
  or
• 8:51
  flight
• 8:51
  response
• 8:52
  is
• 8:52
  activated,
• 8:53
  that
• 8:53
  immediately
• 8:54
  activates
• 8:54
  theirs
• 8:55
  too.
• 8:56
  And
• 8:56
  when
• 8:56
  we're
• 8:57
  anxious
• 8:57
  and
• 8:57
  tense,
• 8:58
  it
• 8:58
  makes
• 8:59
  riding
• 8:59
  with
• 8:59
  feel,
• 9:00
  presence
• 9:01
  and
• 9:01
  balance
• 9:01
  so
• 9:02
  difficult.
• 9:03
  So
• 9:03
  the
• 9:03
  safest
• 9:04
  way
• 9:04
  to
• 9:04
  ride
• 9:05
  is
• 9:05
  being
• 9:05
  calm,
• 9:06
  confident
• 9:07
  and
• 9:07
  capable
• 9:07
  and
• 9:08
  giving
• 9:08
  your
• 9:09
  horse
• 9:09
  that
• 9:09
  calm,
• 9:10
  clear
• 9:10
  leadership.
• 9:11
  And
• 9:12
  when
• 9:12
  our
• 9:12
  brains
• 9:12
  are
• 9:12
  in
• 9:12
  survival
• 9:13
  mode,
• 9:13
  it
• 9:14
  just
• 9:14
  makes
• 9:14
  doing
• 9:15
  that
• 9:15
  impossible.
• 9:16
  And
• 9:16
  that's
• 9:16
  why
• 9:16
  it's
• 9:17
  essential
• 9:18
  to
• 9:18
  fix
• 9:18
  it.
• 9:19
  And
• 9:19
  the
• 9:19
  difference
• 9:20
  between
• 9:20
  nerves
• 9:21
  and
• 9:21
  your
• 9:21
  brain
• 9:22
  being
• 9:22
  stuck
• 9:22
  in
• 9:22
  survival
• 9:23
  mode
• 9:23
  is
• 9:24
  really,
• 9:24
  if
• 9:24
  we
• 9:24
  feel
• 9:25
  a
• 9:25
  bit
• 9:25
  nervous,
• 9:25
  as
• 9:26
  soon
• 9:26
  as
• 9:26
  we
• 9:26
  get
• 9:26
  evidence
• 9:27
  that
• 9:27
  we're
• 9:27
  actually
• 9:27
  safe,
• 9:28
  then
• 9:28
  we
• 9:28
  calm
• 9:29
  down.
• 9:29
  But
• 9:30
  when
• 9:30
  our
• 9:30
  brain
• 9:30
  is
• 9:30
  stuck
• 9:31
  in
• 9:31
  survival
• 9:31
  mode,
• 9:32
  no
• 9:32
  matter
• 9:32
  how
• 9:33
  much
• 9:33
  evidence
• 9:34
  it
• 9:34
  has
• 9:35
  that
• 9:36
  you're
• 9:36
  safe.
• 9:37
  You
• 9:37
  still
• 9:38
  stay
• 9:39
  in
• 9:39
  that
• 9:39
  anxious,
• 9:40
  nervous,
• 9:40
  fearful
• 9:41
  mode.
• 9:42
  Let's
• 9:43
  talk
• 9:43
  about
• 9:43
  the
• 9:43
  emotional
• 9:44
  layer,
• 9:44
  because
• 9:45
  writers
• 9:46
  feel
• 9:46
  shame
• 9:46
  about
• 9:47
  fear.
• 9:48
  What
• 9:48
  do
• 9:48
  you
• 9:48
  say
• 9:49
  to
• 9:49
  the
• 9:49
  writer
• 9:49
  who's
• 9:50
  thinking,
• 9:50
  I
• 9:51
  should
• 9:51
  be
• 9:51
  over
• 9:51
  this?
• 9:52
  I
• 9:52
  used
• 9:52
  to
• 9:52
  be
• 9:53
  brave.
• 9:53
  What's
• 9:54
  wrong
• 9:54
  with
• 9:54
  me?
• 9:57
  I
• 9:57
  mean,
• 9:57
  this
• 9:57
  is
• 9:57
  such
• 9:58
  a
• 9:58
  painful
• 9:59
  part
• 9:59
  of
• 9:59
  anxiety
• 10:00
  and
• 10:00
  it's
• 10:00
  where
• 10:00
  people
• 10:00
  get
• 10:01
  really
• 10:01
  stuck.
• 10:02
  Because
• 10:03
  now
• 10:03
  they're
• 10:04
  not
• 10:04
  just
• 10:04
  afraid,
• 10:05
  they're
• 10:06
  judging
• 10:06
  themselves
• 10:07
  for
• 10:07
  being
• 10:07
  afraid.
• 10:09
  And
• 10:10
  also,
• 10:11
  if
• 10:11
  they're
• 10:11
  surrounded
• 10:12
  by
• 10:12
  people
• 10:12
  who've
• 10:13
  never
• 10:13
  experienced
• 10:14
  anxiety,
• 10:15
  it
• 10:15
  can
• 10:15
  be
• 10:15
  really
• 10:16
  confusing
• 10:16
  for
• 10:17
  those
• 10:17
  people
• 10:17
  as
• 10:18
  well.
• 10:18
  Like,
• 10:18
  why
• 10:18
  is
• 10:19
  this
• 10:19
  happening?
• 10:19
  It
• 10:19
  doesn't
• 10:20
  make
• 10:20
  any
• 10:20
  sense.
• 10:21
  So
• 10:22
  I
• 10:22
  always
• 10:23
  say,
• 10:23
  feeling
• 10:24
  fearful,
• 10:25
  anxious,
• 10:26
  or
• 10:26
  nervous,
• 10:27
  or
• 10:27
  getting
• 10:28
  caught
• 10:28
  in
• 10:28
  those
• 10:29
  endless
• 10:29
  what
• 10:29
  ifs
• 10:30
  or
• 10:30
  worst
• 10:31
  case
• 10:31
  scenarios
• 10:32
  is
• 10:33
  not
• 10:33
  a
• 10:33
  character
• 10:34
  flaw.
• 10:34
  It
• 10:35
  isn't
• 10:35
  a
• 10:35
  choice,
• 10:36
  and
• 10:36
  it
• 10:37
  absolutely
• 10:38
  isn't
• 10:38
  your
• 10:38
  fault.
• 10:39
  It's
• 10:40
  simply
• 10:40
  your
• 10:40
  brain
• 10:41
  doing
• 10:41
  what
• 10:41
  it
• 10:42
  evolved
• 10:42
  to
• 10:43
  do.
• 10:43
  And
• 10:44
  ultimately
• 10:45
  that's
• 10:45
  to
• 10:45
  protect
• 10:46
  you.
• 10:46
  And
• 10:46
  it
• 10:47
  does
• 10:47
  this
• 10:47
  by
• 10:48
  making
• 10:48
  predictions
• 10:49
  based
• 10:50
  on
• 10:50
  past
• 10:50
  experiences,
• 10:52
  things
• 10:52
  that
• 10:52
  have
• 10:52
  happened
• 10:53
  to
• 10:53
  you,
• 10:54
  things
• 10:54
  you've
• 10:54
  seen
• 10:55
  happen
• 10:55
  to
• 10:55
  others,
• 10:56
  or
• 10:56
  even
• 10:57
  stories
• 10:58
  you've
• 10:58
  absorbed
• 10:58
  over
• 10:59
  time.
• 10:59
  You
• 10:59
  know,
• 10:59
  something
• 11:00
  you've
• 11:00
  just
• 11:00
  heard
• 11:00
  about.
• 11:02
  Instead
• 11:02
  of
• 11:03
  you
• 11:03
  being
• 11:03
  able
• 11:03
  to
• 11:03
  respond
• 11:04
  calmly
• 11:04
  to
• 11:04
  what's
• 11:05
  actually
• 11:05
  happening
• 11:06
  in
• 11:06
  reality,
• 11:08
  your
• 11:08
  brain
• 11:08
  is
• 11:08
  responding
• 11:09
  to
• 11:09
  what
• 11:09
  it's
• 11:10
  predicting.
• 11:11
  And
• 11:11
  this
• 11:11
  is
• 11:11
  what
• 11:11
  we
• 11:12
  need
• 11:12
  to
• 11:12
  change.
• 11:13
  And
• 11:13
  the
• 11:13
  great
• 11:14
  news
• 11:14
  is
• 11:14
  this
• 11:15
  is
• 11:15
  absolutely
• 11:16
  something
• 11:16
  you
• 11:17
  can
• 11:17
  change.
• 11:18
  You
• 11:18
  don't
• 11:19
  need
• 11:19
  to
• 11:19
  be
• 11:20
  braver.
• 11:21
  You
• 11:21
  need
• 11:22
  a
• 11:22
  calmer
• 11:22
  brain.
• 11:24
  Is
• 11:24
  confidence
• 11:25
  something
• 11:25
  you
• 11:26
  rebuild
• 11:26
  or
• 11:27
  find
• 11:27
  again?
• 11:28
  So
• 11:29
  confidence
• 11:29
  is
• 11:30
  something
• 11:30
  we
• 11:31
  build.
• 11:32
  And
• 11:32
  when
• 11:32
  we're
• 11:33
  separating
• 11:33
  fear
• 11:34
  from
• 11:34
  identity,
• 11:35
  we
• 11:35
  want
• 11:35
  to
• 11:35
  recognize
• 11:36
  fear
• 11:36
  is
• 11:36
  not
• 11:37
  who
• 11:37
  you
• 11:37
  are.
• 11:38
  Fear
• 11:39
  is
• 11:39
  a
• 11:39
  response
• 11:39
  your
• 11:40
  nervous
• 11:40
  system
• 11:40
  learned
• 11:41
  under
• 11:41
  pressure.
• 11:43
  So
• 11:43
  confidence
• 11:44
  isn't
• 11:44
  something
• 11:44
  we
• 11:45
  can
• 11:45
  wait
• 11:45
  for.
• 11:46
  It's
• 11:46
  not
• 11:46
  something
• 11:47
  that's
• 11:47
  going
• 11:47
  to
• 11:48
  magically
• 11:48
  show
• 11:49
  up
• 11:49
  at
• 11:49
  some
• 11:49
  future
• 11:50
  point.
• 11:50
  And
• 11:51
  through
• 11:51
  all
• 11:51
  my
• 11:51
  work
• 11:52
  with
• 11:52
  riders,
• 11:52
  I
• 11:53
  found
• 11:53
  that
• 11:53
  there
• 11:53
  are
• 11:53
  four
• 11:54
  key
• 11:54
  elements
• 11:55
  that
• 11:55
  need
• 11:55
  to
• 11:55
  be
• 11:56
  addressed
• 11:56
  for
• 11:57
  confidence
• 11:57
  to
• 11:57
  genuinely
• 11:58
  return.
• 11:59
  They're
• 12:00
  four
• 12:00
  pieces
• 12:01
  of
• 12:01
  the
• 12:01
  same
• 12:02
  puzzle.
• 12:03
  Because
• 12:03
  genuine
• 12:04
  confidence
• 12:04
  isn't
• 12:05
  one
• 12:05
  thing
• 12:06
  and
• 12:06
  it
• 12:06
  doesn't
• 12:07
  come
• 12:07
  from
• 12:07
  one
• 12:07
  place.
• 12:08
  To
• 12:08
  develop
• 12:08
  genuine
• 12:09
  inner
• 12:09
  confidence,
• 12:10
  the
• 12:10
  kind
• 12:11
  that's
• 12:11
  there
• 12:11
  for
• 12:11
  you
• 12:11
  when
• 12:11
  you
• 12:12
  really
• 12:12
  need
• 12:12
  it,
• 12:13
  we
• 12:14
  need
• 12:14
  to
• 12:14
  calm
• 12:15
  your
• 12:15
  lower
• 12:15
  brain,
• 12:16
  the
• 12:16
  part
• 12:16
  that's
• 12:17
  wired
• 12:17
  for
• 12:17
  survival.
• 12:19
  We
• 12:19
  need
• 12:19
  to
• 12:19
  train
• 12:20
  your
• 12:20
  rational,
• 12:20
  thinking
• 12:21
  mind
• 12:22
  to
• 12:22
  think
• 12:22
  in
• 12:22
  more
• 12:22
  helpful
• 12:23
  ways.
• 12:23
  And
• 12:24
  this
• 12:24
  isn't
• 12:25
  about
• 12:25
  positive
• 12:26
  thinking.
• 12:26
  It's
• 12:27
  about
• 12:27
  training
• 12:28
  your
• 12:28
  brain
• 12:29
  to
• 12:29
  think
• 12:29
  properly
• 12:30
  about
• 12:30
  things
• 12:31
  and
• 12:31
  in
• 12:31
  a
• 12:31
  helpful
• 12:32
  way.
• 12:32
  And
• 12:33
  we
• 12:33
  want
• 12:33
  to
• 12:33
  train
• 12:34
  your
• 12:34
  brain
• 12:34
  to
• 12:35
  think
• 12:35
  in
• 12:35
  that
• 12:35
  way
• 12:36
  automatically.
• 12:38
  Then
• 12:39
  we
• 12:39
  need
• 12:40
  to
• 12:40
  change
• 12:40
  your
• 12:40
  relationship
• 12:41
  with
• 12:41
  yourself.
• 12:41
  By
• 12:42
  changing
• 12:42
  your
• 12:42
  self
• 12:43
  talk,
• 12:44
  updating
• 12:44
  any
• 12:45
  unhelpful
• 12:45
  beliefs
• 12:46
  you
• 12:46
  have.
• 12:46
  And
• 12:46
  these
• 12:46
  could
• 12:47
  be
• 12:47
  about
• 12:47
  yourself,
• 12:48
  other
• 12:48
  people,
• 12:49
  or
• 12:49
  the
• 12:49
  world
• 12:50
  around
• 12:50
  you.
• 12:51
  And
• 12:52
  finally,
• 12:52
  we
• 12:53
  need
• 12:53
  to
• 12:53
  develop
• 12:54
  focus,
• 12:55
  awareness
• 12:55
  and
• 12:56
  attention.
• 12:57
  We
• 12:57
  need
• 12:58
  to
• 12:58
  train
• 12:58
  your
• 12:58
  brain
• 12:59
  to
• 12:59
  deliberately
• 12:59
  focus
• 13:00
  your
• 13:00
  attention
• 13:01
  where
• 13:01
  it
• 13:01
  will
• 13:01
  be
• 13:02
  most
• 13:02
  helpful
• 13:02
  and
• 13:03
  beneficial,
• 13:04
  rather
• 13:04
  than
• 13:04
  being
• 13:05
  distracted
• 13:05
  by
• 13:06
  past
• 13:06
  experiences,
• 13:07
  what
• 13:08
  ifs,
• 13:08
  worst
• 13:09
  case
• 13:09
  scenarios,
• 13:10
  people
• 13:10
  watching
• 13:11
  you,
• 13:12
  or
• 13:12
  past
• 13:12
  mistakes,
• 13:13
  for
• 13:13
  example.
• 13:15
  And
• 13:15
  if
• 13:16
  any
• 13:16
  one
• 13:16
  of
• 13:16
  these
• 13:16
  elements
• 13:17
  is
• 13:17
  missing,
• 13:17
  then
• 13:18
  confidence
• 13:19
  can
• 13:19
  be
• 13:19
  fragile.
• 13:21
  But
• 13:21
  when
• 13:21
  we
• 13:21
  cover
• 13:22
  all
• 13:22
  these
• 13:22
  aspects,
• 13:23
  confidence
• 13:24
  becomes
• 13:24
  something
• 13:25
  you
• 13:25
  can
• 13:25
  rely
• 13:25
  on,
• 13:26
  not
• 13:26
  something
• 13:27
  you
• 13:27
  just
• 13:27
  hope
• 13:28
  shows
• 13:28
  up
• 13:28
  when
• 13:29
  you
• 13:29
  need
• 13:29
  it.
• 13:30
  And
• 13:30
  of
• 13:30
  course,
• 13:31
  none
• 13:31
  of
• 13:31
  these
• 13:32
  elements
• 13:32
  is
• 13:32
  separate,
• 13:33
  and
• 13:33
  they
• 13:33
  all
• 13:34
  work
• 13:34
  together
• 13:35
  to
• 13:35
  create
• 13:36
  genuine
• 13:37
  inner
• 13:37
  confidence.
• 13:38
  Okay,
• 13:39
  if
• 13:39
  someone
• 13:40
  listening
• 13:40
  has
• 13:41
  anxiety
• 13:41
  right
• 13:42
  now,
• 13:42
  this
• 13:43
  week,
• 13:43
  what's
• 13:44
  the
• 13:44
  one
• 13:44
  tool
• 13:45
  they
• 13:45
  can
• 13:45
  use
• 13:45
  immediately
• 13:46
  or
• 13:47
  when
• 13:47
  fear
• 13:47
  hits
• 13:47
  them
• 13:48
  in
• 13:48
  the
• 13:48
  saddle?
• 13:49
  So
• 13:49
  the
• 13:49
  quickest
• 13:50
  way
• 13:50
  to
• 13:50
  calm
• 13:51
  our
• 13:51
  nervous
• 13:51
  system
• 13:52
  and
• 13:52
  our
• 13:52
  lower
• 13:53
  brain
• 13:53
  is
• 13:54
  with
• 13:54
  our
• 13:54
  breathing.
• 13:55
  And
• 13:56
  breathing's
• 13:57
  so
• 13:57
  simple,
• 13:58
  it's
• 13:58
  often
• 13:58
  overlooked.
• 13:59
  And
• 14:00
  also,
• 14:00
  many
• 14:01
  anxious
• 14:01
  people
• 14:02
  have
• 14:02
  tried
• 14:02
  breathing
• 14:03
  exercises
• 14:04
  and
• 14:04
  found
• 14:04
  they
• 14:05
  just
• 14:05
  didn't
• 14:05
  really
• 14:05
  work
• 14:06
  for
• 14:06
  them.
• 14:07
  But
• 14:07
  that's
• 14:07
  usually
• 14:08
  because
• 14:08
  when
• 14:09
  we're
• 14:09
  anxious
• 14:10
  or
• 14:10
  nervous,
• 14:11
  we
• 14:11
  tend
• 14:12
  to
• 14:12
  breathe
• 14:12
  through
• 14:13
  our
• 14:13
  mouths
• 14:14
  and
• 14:14
  into
• 14:14
  our
• 14:14
  chest.
• 14:16
  And
• 14:16
  for
• 14:16
  our
• 14:16
  breathing
• 14:17
  to
• 14:17
  calm
• 14:17
  our
• 14:18
  nervous
• 14:18
  system,
• 14:19
  we
• 14:19
  need
• 14:19
  to
• 14:20
  make
• 14:20
  sure
• 14:20
  that
• 14:20
  we're
• 14:21
  breathing
• 14:21
  in
• 14:21
  and
• 14:21
  out
• 14:22
  through
• 14:22
  our
• 14:22
  noses
• 14:24
  and
• 14:24
  breathing
• 14:24
  down
• 14:25
  into
• 14:25
  our
• 14:26
  belly.
• 14:27
  And
• 14:28
  one
• 14:28
  of
• 14:28
  my
• 14:28
  favourite
• 14:29
  breathing
• 14:29
  techniques
• 14:30
  is
• 14:30
  box
• 14:30
  breathing.
• 14:31
  It's
• 14:31
  used
• 14:32
  to
• 14:32
  reduce
• 14:32
  stress
• 14:33
  and
• 14:33
  anxiety,
• 14:34
  improve
• 14:34
  focus
• 14:35
  and
• 14:35
  emotional
• 14:36
  regulation,
• 14:37
  and
• 14:37
  supports
• 14:38
  physical
• 14:38
  performance
• 14:40
  and
• 14:40
  the
• 14:40
  exercise.
• 14:41
  It's
• 14:41
  really
• 14:41
  simple,
• 14:42
  but
• 14:42
  it's
• 14:42
  powerful
• 14:43
  because
• 14:43
  it
• 14:43
  helps
• 14:44
  to
• 14:44
  calm
• 14:44
  your
• 14:45
  nervous
• 14:45
  system
• 14:46
  and
• 14:46
  reset
• 14:46
  your
• 14:47
  body
• 14:47
  during
• 14:48
  stress.
• 14:49
  So
• 14:49
  when
• 14:49
  fear
• 14:49
  hits,
• 14:51
  breathe
• 14:52
  in
• 14:52
  for
• 14:52
  a
• 14:52
  count
• 14:53
  of
• 14:53
  four,
• 14:54
  hold
• 14:55
  for
• 14:55
  a
• 14:55
  count
• 14:56
  of
• 14:56
  four,
• 14:57
  breathe
• 14:57
  out
• 14:58
  for
• 14:58
  a
• 14:58
  count
• 14:58
  of
• 14:59
  four
• 14:59
  and
• 15:00
  hold
• 15:01
  for
• 15:01
  a
• 15:01
  count
• 15:01
  of
• 15:01
  four.
• 15:02
  And
• 15:02
  you
• 15:02
  repeat.
• 15:03
  Now,
• 15:04
  when
• 15:04
  I
• 15:04
  say
• 15:04
  a
• 15:04
  four
• 15:04
  count,
• 15:05
  Elizabeth,
• 15:05
  I
• 15:05
  mean
• 15:05
  four
• 15:06
  seconds.
• 15:06
  So
• 15:07
  1,000,
• 15:08
  2,000,
• 15:09
  3,000,
• 15:10
  4,000.
• 15:11
  If
• 15:11
  you
• 15:11
  do
• 15:12
  box
• 15:12
  breathing,
• 15:13
  you're
• 15:13
  going,
• 15:13
  1,
• 15:13
  2,
• 15:14
  3,
• 15:14
  4.
• 15:14
  One,
• 15:14
  two,
• 15:14
  three,
• 15:15
  four.
• 15:15
  1,
• 15:15
  2,
• 15:15
  3,
• 15:15
  four.
• 15:16
  That
• 15:16
  won't
• 15:16
  settle
• 15:17
  your
• 15:17
  nervous
• 15:17
  system.
• 15:18
  So
• 15:19
  breathing
• 15:20
  in
• 15:20
  for
• 15:21
  a
• 15:21
  count
• 15:21
  of
• 15:21
  four,
• 15:22
  holding
• 15:22
  for
• 15:23
  a
• 15:23
  count
• 15:23
  of
• 15:23
  four,
• 15:24
  breathing
• 15:24
  out
• 15:25
  for
• 15:25
  a
• 15:25
  count
• 15:26
  of
• 15:26
  four,
• 15:27
  holding
• 15:27
  for
• 15:27
  a
• 15:27
  count
• 15:28
  of
• 15:28
  four,
• 15:28
  and
• 15:28
  repeating.
• 15:30
  And
• 15:31
  if
• 15:31
  riders
• 15:31
  practice
• 15:32
  this
• 15:32
  regularly
• 15:33
  when
• 15:33
  they're
• 15:33
  not
• 15:33
  feeling
• 15:34
  anxious,
• 15:35
  then
• 15:35
  they
• 15:35
  can
• 15:36
  use
• 15:36
  it
• 15:36
  in
• 15:36
  high
• 15:36
  pressure
• 15:37
  moments
• 15:38
  and
• 15:38
  they'll
• 15:38
  start
• 15:38
  to
• 15:38
  feel
• 15:39
  more
• 15:39
  in
• 15:39
  control
• 15:40
  of
• 15:40
  both
• 15:40
  their
• 15:40
  physical
• 15:41
  and
• 15:41
  mental
• 15:41
  responses.
• 15:42
  I
• 15:42
  had
• 15:43
  a
• 15:43
  rider
• 15:43
  recently,
• 15:43
  she
• 15:44
  said
• 15:44
  that
• 15:44
  she'd
• 15:44
  gone
• 15:45
  out
• 15:45
  for
• 15:45
  a
• 15:45
  hack
• 15:46
  on
• 15:46
  her
• 15:46
  horse.
• 15:47
  She
• 15:47
  was
• 15:47
  going
• 15:47
  to
• 15:47
  a
• 15:47
  place
• 15:48
  they'd
• 15:48
  never
• 15:48
  been
• 15:48
  before
• 15:49
  and
• 15:49
  they
• 15:50
  were
• 15:50
  going
• 15:50
  Through
• 15:50
  a
• 15:50
  village.
• 15:50
  There
• 15:51
  was
• 15:51
  lots
• 15:51
  of
• 15:51
  things
• 15:51
  going
• 15:52
  on
• 15:52
  and
• 15:52
  she
• 15:52
  just
• 15:53
  used
• 15:53
  her
• 15:53
  box
• 15:53
  breathing
• 15:54
  the
• 15:54
  whole
• 15:54
  time.
• 15:55
  She
• 15:55
  stayed
• 15:55
  calm,
• 15:56
  her
• 15:56
  horse
• 15:57
  stayed
• 15:57
  calm.
• 15:57
  So
• 15:57
  it
• 15:58
  works
• 15:58
  beautifully.
• 16:00
  So
• 16:00
  make
• 16:01
  sure
• 16:01
  you're
• 16:02
  breathing
• 16:02
  in
• 16:02
  and
• 16:02
  out
• 16:03
  through
• 16:03
  your
• 16:03
  nose
• 16:04
  and
• 16:04
  down
• 16:05
  into
• 16:05
  your
• 16:05
  belly.
• 16:06
  That's
• 16:06
  really
• 16:06
  important
• 16:07
  for
• 16:07
  getting
• 16:08
  the
• 16:08
  best
• 16:08
  out
• 16:09
  of
• 16:09
  this
• 16:09
  exercise.
• 16:10
  Can
• 16:10
  you
• 16:10
  give
• 16:11
  an
• 16:11
  example
• 16:11
  of
• 16:12
  the
• 16:12
  internal
• 16:12
  script
• 16:13
  you'd
• 16:13
  want
• 16:13
  riders
• 16:14
  to
• 16:14
  use?
• 16:15
  I
• 16:15
  really
• 16:16
  want
• 16:16
  riders
• 16:16
  to
• 16:17
  support
• 16:17
  and
• 16:18
  encourage
• 16:18
  themselves.
• 16:19
  So
• 16:20
  saying
• 16:20
  to
• 16:20
  yourself
• 16:21
  things
• 16:21
  like,
• 16:22
  I
• 16:22
  trust
• 16:22
  myself,
• 16:23
  I
• 16:23
  trust
• 16:24
  my
• 16:24
  horse,
• 16:25
  I
• 16:25
  trust
• 16:25
  our
• 16:26
  training,
• 16:27
  we've
• 16:27
  got
• 16:28
  this,
• 16:28
  we
• 16:29
  can
• 16:29
  do
• 16:29
  this.
• 16:31
  And
• 16:31
  I
• 16:31
  encourage
• 16:32
  riders
• 16:32
  to
• 16:32
  train
• 16:33
  their
• 16:33
  minds
• 16:33
  to
• 16:34
  focus
• 16:34
  on
• 16:34
  what
• 16:34
  they
• 16:35
  want
• 16:35
  their
• 16:35
  horses
• 16:36
  to
• 16:36
  do
• 16:36
  and
• 16:37
  use
• 16:37
  that
• 16:38
  as
• 16:38
  you're
• 16:38
  in
• 16:38
  a
• 16:39
  commentary.
• 16:39
  So,
• 16:40
  for
• 16:40
  example,
• 16:41
  it
• 16:41
  was
• 16:41
  only
• 16:42
  the
• 16:42
  third
• 16:42
  time
• 16:42
  I'd
• 16:43
  ever
• 16:43
  ridden
• 16:43
  my
• 16:43
  horse
• 16:44
  on
• 16:44
  my
• 16:44
  own
• 16:44
  on
• 16:44
  the
• 16:45
  Quantox,
• 16:46
  and
• 16:46
  she's
• 16:46
  an
• 16:46
  Andalusian
• 16:47
  cross
• 16:48
  Lusitano
• 16:48
  and
• 16:49
  she
• 16:49
  elevates
• 16:49
  very
• 16:50
  easily.
• 16:51
  And
• 16:51
  the
• 16:52
  hunt
• 16:52
  came
• 16:53
  cantering
• 16:53
  up
• 16:54
  behind
• 16:54
  us.
• 16:56
  And
• 16:56
  my
• 16:56
  inner
• 16:57
  commentary
• 16:57
  in
• 16:58
  that
• 16:58
  moment
• 16:58
  was,
• 16:59
  you're
• 17:00
  with
• 17:00
  me,
• 17:00
  we're
• 17:01
  going
• 17:01
  over
• 17:01
  here,
• 17:02
  and
• 17:02
  that's
• 17:03
  nothing
• 17:03
  to
• 17:03
  do
• 17:03
  with
• 17:04
  us.
• 17:05
  My
• 17:05
  mind
• 17:05
  was
• 17:05
  completely
• 17:06
  focused
• 17:07
  on
• 17:07
  what
• 17:07
  I
• 17:07
  wanted
• 17:08
  my
• 17:08
  horse
• 17:08
  to
• 17:08
  do,
• 17:09
  not
• 17:09
  on
• 17:10
  fears
• 17:10
  of
• 17:10
  what
• 17:10
  might
• 17:11
  happen.
• 17:12
  And
• 17:12
  that's
• 17:12
  because
• 17:13
  I
• 17:13
  practice
• 17:13
  what
• 17:13
  I
• 17:13
  preach
• 17:14
  and
• 17:14
  I've
• 17:14
  trained
• 17:15
  my
• 17:15
  brain
• 17:16
  to
• 17:16
  think
• 17:16
  in
• 17:16
  helpful
• 17:17
  ways
• 17:18
  and
• 17:18
  anyone
• 17:19
  can
• 17:19
  do
• 17:20
  that.
• 17:20
  So
• 17:21
  even
• 17:21
  though
• 17:21
  my
• 17:22
  horse
• 17:22
  was
• 17:22
  shaking
• 17:23
  because
• 17:23
  she
• 17:23
  was
• 17:24
  having
• 17:24
  a
• 17:24
  big
• 17:24
  reaction
• 17:25
  to
• 17:25
  all
• 17:25
  this
• 17:25
  energy
• 17:25
  flying
• 17:26
  up
• 17:26
  behind
• 17:26
  us
• 17:26
  and
• 17:27
  cantering,
• 17:28
  she
• 17:29
  listened
• 17:29
  to
• 17:29
  me
• 17:29
  and
• 17:30
  she
• 17:30
  stayed
• 17:31
  with
• 17:31
  me.
• 17:31
  And
• 17:32
  things
• 17:32
  would
• 17:32
  have
• 17:32
  been
• 17:32
  very
• 17:33
  different
• 17:33
  if
• 17:34
  my
• 17:34
  brain
• 17:34
  had
• 17:34
  panicked.
• 17:35
  So
• 17:36
  use
• 17:36
  that
• 17:36
  internal
• 17:37
  dialogue
• 17:38
  to
• 17:38
  support
• 17:38
  yourself,
• 17:39
  to
• 17:39
  encourage
• 17:40
  yourself
• 17:41
  and
• 17:41
  to
• 17:41
  focus
• 17:42
  on
• 17:42
  what
• 17:42
  you
• 17:43
  want
• 17:43
  your
• 17:43
  horse
• 17:44
  to
• 17:44
  do.
• 17:45
  How
• 17:45
  do
• 17:45
  you
• 17:45
  set
• 17:45
  comeback
• 17:46
  goals
• 17:47
  that
• 17:47
  don't
• 17:48
  backfire?
• 17:50
  Well,
• 17:50
  firstly,
• 17:51
  don't
• 17:51
  expect
• 17:52
  to
• 17:52
  pick
• 17:52
  up
• 17:53
  where
• 17:53
  you
• 17:53
  left
• 17:53
  off.
• 17:54
  That's
• 17:54
  really
• 17:55
  important.
• 17:55
  Start
• 17:56
  smaller
• 17:57
  and
• 17:57
  gradually
• 17:58
  work
• 17:58
  towards
• 17:59
  the
• 17:59
  level
• 17:59
  you
• 17:59
  want
• 17:59
  to
• 17:59
  reach.
• 18:00
  Small
• 18:01
  bite
• 18:01
  sized
• 18:02
  steps
• 18:02
  where
• 18:03
  you
• 18:03
  gradually
• 18:04
  stretch
• 18:04
  your
• 18:05
  comfort
• 18:05
  zone.
• 18:06
  And
• 18:06
  it's
• 18:06
  really
• 18:06
  important
• 18:07
  not
• 18:07
  to
• 18:07
  over
• 18:08
  face
• 18:08
  yourself
• 18:09
  because
• 18:10
  pushing
• 18:10
  through
• 18:11
  and
• 18:12
  riding
• 18:12
  when
• 18:12
  you
• 18:12
  feel
• 18:13
  tense
• 18:13
  or
• 18:13
  nervous
• 18:14
  doesn't
• 18:15
  build
• 18:15
  confidence
• 18:16
  because
• 18:17
  this
• 18:17
  isn't
• 18:17
  the
• 18:17
  type
• 18:18
  of
• 18:18
  experience
• 18:19
  that
• 18:19
  tells
• 18:19
  your
• 18:19
  brain
• 18:20
  actually
• 18:21
  we're
• 18:21
  okay.
• 18:24
  So
• 18:24
  something
• 18:24
  riders
• 18:24
  can
• 18:25
  do
• 18:25
  to
• 18:25
  really
• 18:25
  support
• 18:25
  themselves.
• 18:26
  Your
• 18:27
  brain
• 18:27
  often
• 18:28
  can't
• 18:29
  tell
• 18:29
  the
• 18:29
  difference
• 18:29
  between
• 18:30
  what's
• 18:30
  real
• 18:30
  and
• 18:31
  what's
• 18:31
  imagined.
• 18:32
  So
• 18:32
  we
• 18:32
  can
• 18:33
  utilise
• 18:33
  this
• 18:35
  so
• 18:35
  riders
• 18:36
  can
• 18:36
  use
• 18:36
  mental
• 18:36
  rehearsal
• 18:37
  to
• 18:37
  prepare
• 18:39
  so
• 18:39
  that
• 18:39
  as
• 18:39
  far
• 18:39
  as
• 18:40
  their
• 18:40
  brain's
• 18:40
  concerned,
• 18:41
  you've
• 18:42
  already
• 18:42
  achieved
• 18:42
  what
• 18:43
  you're
• 18:43
  setting
• 18:43
  out
• 18:43
  to
• 18:43
  do
• 18:44
  many
• 18:44
  times.
• 18:45
  And
• 18:46
  so
• 18:46
  by
• 18:46
  the
• 18:47
  time
• 18:47
  you
• 18:47
  come
• 18:47
  to
• 18:47
  do
• 18:47
  it
• 18:47
  in
• 18:48
  reality,
• 18:49
  your
• 18:49
  brain
• 18:49
  is
• 18:50
  happy
• 18:50
  to
• 18:50
  do
• 18:51
  it.
• 18:51
  And
• 18:51
  ultimately,
• 18:53
  the
• 18:53
  best
• 18:53
  way
• 18:54
  to
• 18:54
  achieve
• 18:54
  your
• 18:55
  goals
• 18:55
  is
• 18:55
  to
• 18:56
  invest
• 18:56
  as
• 18:56
  much
• 18:57
  effort
• 18:57
  in
• 18:57
  training
• 18:58
  your
• 18:58
  mind
• 18:59
  as
• 18:59
  you
• 18:59
  do
• 19:00
  your
• 19:00
  body
• 19:00
  and
• 19:01
  your
• 19:01
  horse.
• 19:02
  We
• 19:02
  need
• 19:02
  to
• 19:02
  develop
• 19:03
  psychological
• 19:04
  confidence.
• 19:05
  And
• 19:06
  when
• 19:06
  you
• 19:06
  get
• 19:06
  your
• 19:06
  mind
• 19:06
  working
• 19:07
  for
• 19:07
  you
• 19:08
  instead
• 19:08
  of
• 19:08
  against
• 19:09
  you,
• 19:10
  goals
• 19:10
  become
• 19:11
  achievable
• 19:12
  and
• 19:12
  reaching
• 19:13
  them
• 19:13
  becomes
• 19:14
  more
• 19:14
  enjoyable.
• 19:16
  Sam,
• 19:17
  before
• 19:17
  we
• 19:17
  wrap,
• 19:18
  if
• 19:18
  this
• 19:18
  resonates
• 19:19
  with
• 19:19
  someone
• 19:20
  listening,
• 19:20
  what
• 19:21
  does
• 19:21
  it
• 19:21
  look
• 19:21
  like
• 19:22
  to
• 19:22
  work
• 19:22
  with
• 19:22
  you?
• 19:23
  Who
• 19:23
  should
• 19:24
  reach
• 19:24
  out
• 19:24
  and
• 19:24
  where
• 19:25
  can
• 19:25
  they
• 19:25
  find
• 19:25
  Prepare
• 19:26
  to
• 19:26
  Win.
• 19:28
  So
• 19:28
  anxiety
• 19:29
  and
• 19:29
  confidence,
• 19:30
  it's
• 19:31
  a
• 19:31
  huge
• 19:31
  topic
• 19:32
  and
• 19:32
  we've
• 19:33
  only
• 19:33
  touched
• 19:34
  the
• 19:34
  surface
• 19:34
  today.
• 19:35
  So
• 19:35
  if
• 19:35
  this
• 19:36
  has
• 19:36
  resonated
• 19:36
  with
• 19:37
  you,
• 19:37
  do
• 19:37
  get

  I

  with

  riders
• 19:51
  at

  all

  levels,

  from

  beginners
• 19:53
  to
• 19:54
  professionals
• 19:54
  competing

  internationally.
• 19:56
  And
• 19:56
  I
• 19:57
  work
• 19:57
  with
• 19:57
  riders
• 19:58
  at

  every

  point
• 19:59
  on
• 19:59
  the
• 19:59
  confidence
• 19:59
  spectrum.
• 20:00
  So
• 20:01
  whether
• 20:01
  you
• 20:01
  feel
• 20:02
  too
• 20:02
  anxious
• 20:02
  to
• 20:02
  even
• 20:03
  lead
• 20:03
  your

  horse
• 20:04
  in
• 20:04
  from
• 20:04
  the
• 20:04
  field,
• 20:05
  or
• 20:05
  you
• 20:06
  want
• 20:06
  to
• 20:06
  feel
• 20:06
  more
• 20:06
  confident
• 20:07
  hacking
• 20:07
  out
• 20:08
  on
• 20:08
  your
• 20:08
  own,
• 20:09
  even
• 20:09
  if
• 20:09
  you're
• 20:10
  having
• 20:10
  full
• 20:10
  blown
• 20:10
  panic
• 20:11
  attacks,
• 20:12
  or
• 20:13
  you're
• 20:13
  competing
• 20:14
  at
• 20:14
  the
• 20:14
  highest
• 20:14
  level
• 20:15
  and
• 20:15
  just
• 20:15
  want
• 20:16
  to
• 20:16
  be
• 20:16
  able
• 20:16
  to
• 20:16
  perform
• 20:16
  at
• 20:17
  your
• 20:17
  potential
• 20:17
  in
• 20:18
  those
• 20:18
  high
• 20:18
  demand
• 20:19
  environments,
• 20:20
  get
• 20:20
  in
• 20:20
  touch
• 20:21
  as
• 20:21
  I
• 20:21
  will
• 20:21
  be
• 20:21
  able
• 20:22
  to
• 20:22
  help.
• 20:23
  My
• 20:23
  work
• 20:24
  focuses
• 20:24
  on
• 20:24
  helping
• 20:25
  riders
• 20:25
  understand
• 20:26
  what's
• 20:26
  happening
• 20:27
  in
• 20:27
  their
• 20:27
  nervous
• 20:27
  system
• 20:28
  and
• 20:28
  then
• 20:28
  retraining
• 20:29
  it
• 20:30
  so
• 20:30
  confidence
• 20:31
  can
• 20:31
  return
• 20:31
  naturally
• 20:32
  rather
• 20:33
  than
• 20:33
  being
• 20:34
  forced.
• 20:35
  Everything
• 20:35
  I
• 20:35
  do
• 20:36
  is
• 20:36
  practical,
• 20:37
  supportive
• 20:37
  and
• 20:38
  evidence
• 20:38
  based
• 20:38
  because
• 20:39
  riders
• 20:40
  need
• 20:40
  tools
• 20:40
  that
• 20:41
  actually
• 20:41
  work
• 20:42
  in
• 20:42
  the
• 20:42
  saddle.
• 20:44
  If
• 20:44
  you
• 20:44
  take
• 20:45
  nothing
• 20:45
  else
• 20:45
  from
• 20:46
  today,
• 20:47
  take
• 20:47
  this.
• 20:48
  Fear
• 20:49
  isn't
• 20:49
  weakness.
• 20:50
  Fear
• 20:50
  is
• 20:51
  information.
• 20:52
  If
• 20:52
  your
• 20:52
  body
• 20:53
  is
• 20:53
  bracing,
• 20:54
  freezing
• 20:54
  or
• 20:55
  preparing
• 20:55
  for
• 20:55
  impact,
• 20:56
  it's
• 20:56
  not
• 20:57
  because
• 20:57
  you're
• 20:57
  broken.
• 20:58
  It's
• 20:58
  because
• 20:59
  you
• 20:59
  learned
• 20:59
  something
• 20:59
  the
• 21:00
  hard
• 21:00
  way.
• 21:00
  And
• 21:00
  the
• 21:01
  comeback
• 21:01
  isn't
• 21:02
  always
• 21:02
  about
• 21:02
  being
• 21:03
  tougher.
• 21:04
  Sometimes
• 21:04
  it's
• 21:05
  about
• 21:05
  being
• 21:05
  supported,
• 21:07
  having
• 21:07
  tools,
• 21:08
  having
• 21:08
  language
• 21:09
  for
• 21:09
  what's
• 21:09
  happening,
• 21:10
  and
• 21:11
  having
• 21:11
  someone
• 21:12
  help
• 21:12
  you
• 21:12
  rebuild
• 21:13
  your
• 21:13
  trust
• 21:13
  in
• 21:14
  layers
• 21:15
  instead
• 21:15
  of
• 21:15
  forcing
• 21:16
  yourself
• 21:16
  through
• 21:16
  it
• 21:17
  alone.
• 21:18
  A
• 21:18
  huge
• 21:18
  thank
• 21:19
  you
• 21:19
  to
• 21:19
  Samantha
• 21:20
  Schenck's
• 21:20
  husbands
• 21:21
  of
• 21:21
  Prepare
• 21:22
  to
• 21:22
  Win
• 21:22
  for
• 21:23
  being
• 21:23
  here.
• 21:25
  Thank
• 21:25
  you
• 21:26
  so
• 21:26
  much
• 21:26
  for
• 21:26
  inviting
• 21:26
  me
• 21:27
  to
• 21:27
  be
• 21:27
  here
• 21:27
  today,
• 21:28
  Elizabeth.
• 21:28
  I'm
• 21:29
  so
• 21:30
  excited
• 21:30
  that
• 21:30
  you're
• 21:31
  talking
• 21:31
  about
• 21:31
  this.
• 21:32
  I
• 21:32
  think
• 21:33
  so
• 21:33
  many
• 21:33
  riders
• 21:34
  have
• 21:35
  almost
• 21:35
  come
• 21:35
  to
• 21:36
  accept
• 21:36
  feeling
• 21:37
  nervous
• 21:37
  or
• 21:38
  anxious
• 21:38
  as
• 21:38
  just
• 21:39
  part
• 21:39
  of
• 21:39
  riding.
• 21:40
  And
• 21:40
  it
• 21:41
  really
• 21:41
  doesn't
• 21:41
  have
• 21:42
  to
• 21:42
  be
• 21:42
  this
• 21:42
  way.
• 21:43
  And
• 21:43
  I
• 21:43
  just
• 21:43
  want
• 21:44
  everybody
• 21:44
  to
• 21:44
  know
• 21:45
  that
• 21:45
  you
• 21:46
  don't
• 21:46
  have
• 21:46
  to
• 21:46
  suffer.
• 21:47
  We
• 21:47
  can
• 21:48
  change
• 21:48
  this.
• 21:49
  We
• 21:49
  can
• 21:50
  rewire
• 21:50
  your
• 21:50
  brain
• 21:51
  for
• 21:51
  calm
• 21:52
  confidence
• 21:53
  so
• 21:53
  you
• 21:53
  can
• 21:54
  really
• 21:54
  enjoy
• 21:55
  your
• 21:55
  riding
• 21:56
  and
• 21:56
  and
• 21:56
  enjoy
• 21:56
  your
• 21:57
  horse.
• 21:57
  And
• 21:57
  every
• 21:58
  rider
• 21:58
  deserves
• 21:59
  that.
• 21:59
  If
• 22:00
  you're
• 22:00
  in
• 22:00
  a
• 22:00
  detour
• 22:01
  right
• 22:01
  now
• 22:01
  where
• 22:02
  you're
• 22:02
  showing
• 22:03
  up
• 22:03
  but
• 22:03
  your
• 22:03
  body
• 22:03
  is
• 22:04
  telling
• 22:04
  a
• 22:04
  different
• 22:04
  story,
• 22:06
  I'm
• 22:06
  going
• 22:06
  to
• 22:06
  link
• 22:06
  Sam
• 22:07
  and
• 22:07
  prepare
• 22:08
  to
• 22:08
  win
• 22:08
  in
• 22:08
  the
• 22:08
  show
• 22:09
  notes
• 22:09
  because
• 22:10
  you
• 22:10
  don't
• 22:11
  have
• 22:11
  to
• 22:11
  white
• 22:11
  knuckle
• 22:12
  your
• 22:12
  way
• 22:12
  through
• 22:12
  this
• 22:13
  sport
• 22:13
  alone.
• 22:14
  Detours
• 22:15
  are
• 22:15
  part
• 22:15
  of
• 22:15
  the
• 22:16
  sport
• 22:16
  and
• 22:17
  frankly,
• 22:17
  part
• 22:17
  of
• 22:18
  life.
• 22:19
  We're
• 22:19
  thinking
• 22:20
  of
• 22:20
  Reynolds
• 22:20
  this
• 22:20
  week
• 22:21
  as
• 22:21
  she
• 22:21
  recovers.
• 22:22
  And
• 22:22
  we'll
• 22:22
  see
• 22:23
  you
• 22:23
  next
• 22:24
  Thursday.
• 22:24
  And
• 22:25
  as
• 22:25
  always,
• 22:26
  let's
• 22:26
  ride.
