NO MATTER WHO you are, every rider has something that makes them nervous. Whether that occurs in the build up to a competition, when heading out for a hack, or while getting back on after a fall, it is natural to have butterflies, feel anxiety in the pit of your stomach, or those annoying nagging doubts in your mind. But what if you were able to pause, take a breath and stop those feelings from spiralling out of control by turning them down or even switching them off completely? It might sound like a fairy tale, but it is actually a reality, and you can learn how to do it.
