Whilst my specialism is working with equestrians I also regularly help people involved in other sports, often at a high level.

These sports have included football (professional), trap (clay pigeon) shooting, archery, golf, discus, swimming, climbing and martial arts.

The issues for many sports people are similar - maintaining focus and concentration, coping with the stress of competition, dealing with the responses of other competitors, team members and coaches - even, sometimes, the pressure they feel to do well for their supporters and fans.

For many sports people at every level there are exams and grading.. Sometimes these may not be in the sport itself - for example, many equestrians need to pass driving tests so that they can transport their horses to competitions. For some of them a 'trailer test' can be a more nerve-wracking experience than any riding competition.

I will be adding more pages to this section giving examples from other sports.
