#92: Remix - The power of the pause (I promise it works!)
First, I report-out on how my weekend went when I made FUN my process goal. Next, I share that I was glad I paused and chose my response to someone who inadvertently pushed my insecure button (yup, I have one!). I was...

#91: Remix - How do your failures reflect on you? (Good news, you get to decide.)
One of the clear things that separates elite handlers from struggling ones is mindset, of course. Specifically, they have a growth mindset and believe that with effort, they can improve. Let’s all be more like elite...

#90: Remix - Are you measuring to build confidence? (Well, you will be after this!)
We can gain a LOT of confidence and clarity by looking backward in the *right* way. This week I challenge you to give yourself a little credit for how far you’ve come and create a framework from which to improve in...

#89: Remix - Do you even know what success looks like? (It’s about time you did!)
In business, one of the most common cliches I hear is, “What does success look like?” It’s a fair question when approaching a project and it made me wonder about how that question applies to dog sports. Let’s try to...

#88: Remix - Where do ring nerves even come from? (And how you wave goodbye!)
Performance anxiety. Ring nerves. Butterflies on steroids. No matter what you call it - or to what degree it happens to you - we all get a little nervous when we step to the line. But why? And how can we manage our...

#86: Trouble focusing or remembering? (Your stamina is showing!)
Having trouble focusing, or remembering courses, or just generally staying present is a pretty common challenge among my clients. With so many things vying for our attention in any given minute, it’s no wonder we...

#85: Is every run “precious?” (Hint: maybe not.)
Sometimes we put too much pressure on a single run. Sound familiar? I call these runs “the precious” after the precious ring in the famous tome. Sometimes runs become precious because we don’t play that sport very...

#84: Are you your cheese? (Seriously, how’s your relationship?)
We rely on our reward systems a whole bunch (treats, toys, etc.). Yet when we walk into the ring, it’s just us and our dogs. Is your relationship strong enough to see you through a tough moment in the ring? We tend to...

#83: Ring nerves have their own lifecycle (And you’re further along than you think!)
Do you remember the first time you walked into a ring to compete? Were you doing it for fun? Were you carefree or completely afraid? The thing is, we no longer feel that exact same way - we have a lot more experiences...

#82: Has “competitive” gotten a bad rap? (Turns out being competitive is personal.)
A friend recently told me, “I’m not as competitive as I used to be,” and that got me thinking. Being competitive doesn’t (necessarily) mean you need to beat someone else, but it does ask what you’re willing to do to...

#81: Are you making an alternate plan? (Plan on success but prepare just in case!)
You know I love to visualize everything going perfectly. But that’s not always how things end up going (understatement!). The best handlers are able to see lots of possibilities and responses to things that might come...
