They\u2019ll be the ones to choose which goal suits them better, and thus be more involved in achieving it!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Finally, dividing a long term goal in <strong>many smaller achievable goals<\/strong> is more motivating! You can create a timeline to instantly see where you are in relation to the final goal!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3><strong><strong>Auto evaluation and counter performance<\/strong><\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>It is important to learn to auto evaluate after each event with the technical contract. It is better to auto evaluate yourself with percentages, because it is less discouraging.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-very-light-gray-background-color has-background\"><strong>&#x1f590;  Pro Tip:<\/strong> Do some Hunter and Dressage, they help you learn how to auto evaluate better!!!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Even then, counter performance is part of a sportsman life, and is a<strong> lesson to learn.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You still have to stay motivated! Horse riding is a sport where you progress by levels, and not in a linear way\u2026 Often, something will just click, and you\u2019ll succeed in things that seemed impossible before\u2026. Sometimes you\u2019ll stay at the same level a long time.. You have to be very patient!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-very-light-gray-background-color has-background\"><strong>&#x1f590;  Pro Tip:<\/strong> I have a Plan B ! The most important goal of the season always has to be followed by a second goal. This second goal has to be ambitious as well, because it allows you to have less pressure to achieve the first one!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-very-light-gray-background-color has-background\"><strong>&#x1f453;  Coach&#8217;s corner:<\/strong> Mistakes have value! Put emphasis on the smaller progress and encourage your students to accept their mistakes. They have to be corrected, but they are an immense source of progress.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3><strong>The sensors to help you auto evaluate<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>To help you auto evaluate,<strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/equisense.com\/pages\/equisense-motion?utm_source=blog&amp;utm_medium=prepa_mentale_EN\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Equisense Motion<\/a> and <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"Equisense Motion S (s\u2019ouvre dans un nouvel onglet)\" href=\"https:\/\/equisense.com\/pages\/equisense-motion-s?utm_source=blog&amp;utm_medium=prepa_mentale\" target=\"_blank\">Equisense Motion S<\/a> will be very useful. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After having done a course or an exercise, try to analyse what went well and what went wrong. Did you have the right cadence? Was it stable? Did you respect the striding? Were your approaches good?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Do a first analysis of all of this, then check with Motion or Motion S if your feelings were right. With time, your sensations will sharpen. You\u2019ll know then what your strengths and weaknesses are!
