Lendon Gray will teach a two-day TEAM Clinic at Noble Steed LLC in Canton, Georgia on May 3-4, 2025.
Every rider faces adversity—whether it’s nerves before a big test, frustration when things don’t go as planned, or setbacks that shake your confidence. The question isn’t if challenges will happen—it’s how you respond when they do.
In this session, we’ll take mental toughness to the next level by shifting the way we see mistakes, pressure, and setbacks. Instead of obstacles, they become opportunities—stepping stones to mastery. Whether you're in the saddle or coaching from the ground, you’ll learn practical strategies to:
Rewire Reactions: Turn fear and frustration into focus and forward momentum.
Master Nerves: Develop pre-ride routines that channel pressure into powerful performances.
Bounce Back Fast: Use setbacks as fuel for growth instead of roadblocks to progress.
You’ll walk away with tools to help yourself—and your riders—approach adversity with confidence, composure, and resilience. Because the best riders aren’t the ones who never struggle—they’re the ones who know how to struggle well. Let’s build that mindset together.
