Ok, so maybe this is a personal problem … but I can easily get distracted at a trial by visiting with my friends - especially when I haven’t seen them in a while. It’s not that I miss my walk-through (though I did once), but it’s that I short-cut my rituals and that doesn’t bode well for my performance!

#50: Are your friends distracting you? (Maybe, maybe not.)

Ready to train your brain like you train your dog?

This podcast is for dog handlers who know mindset matters—but don’t always know how to build it. I’m Julie Bacon, The Q Coach, and every week, I’ll bring you real-talk coaching, stories from the ring, and tools you can actually use to build a stronger performance mindset.

Whether you’re dealing with ring nerves, inconsistency, fear of leveling up, or just want to feel more confident out there, this podcast is your weekly dose of support, strategy, and “omg same” moments.

No fluff. No hype. Just practical mindset coaching for competitive dog handlers who want to Q more consistently and show up with confidence. Let’s get after it.
