How to Stop Caring What Other Riders Think - #230


Listen Later

Have you ever felt completely thrown off by what someone said about your riding?

In this episode, we dive deep into one of the biggest mental challenges riders face: dealing with other people’s opinions, whether they’re spoken out loud or just imagined in your head.

After coming back from a recent event surrounded by top-level riders, we share real, raw experiences of self-doubt, comparison, and criticism, and most importantly, how to handle it without letting it ruin your performance.

Because here’s the truth:

It’s not what people say that impacts you the most… It’s the meaning you give it.

What You’ll Learn in This Episode:

  • Why you often think people are judging you (even when they’re not)
  • The difference between facts vs. the story you create in your mind
  • How to stop spiraling after someone makes a comment
  • A powerful 3-step framework to process criticism quickly
  • How to decide whose opinion actually matters
  • Why discomfort (riding with top riders, competing higher) is actually a GOOD sign
  • How to turn criticism into confidence and focus before competition
  •  Real Story From This Episode

    After being told to drop from 3-star all the way back to 1-star, I share how I:

    • Broke down the comment objectively
    • Separated fact from emotion
    • Reframed the situation
    • Regained focus before cross-country
    • Delivered a strong performance anyway
    • This is a must-listen if you’ve ever doubted yourself before going into the ring.
