On this episode, I'm sharing a few stories about the mentality needed to be successful and how preparation plays an important role in the longevity of your training career.

My dad always used to say, "why do we always seem to have time to do things right the second time around?" In other words, hurrying usually costs you more time in the long run. In the horsemanship journey, learning the difference between hustling and hurrying can make or break your progression in training. Join me as I share some insights on this topic and help you frame your mindset around being productive at a controlled pace.
