The Q Coach Pod | Mindset Coaching for Handlers with Julie Bacon

We fall into the comparison trap for all sorts of reasons. My latest opinion is that sometimes we compare ourselves to others because we require feedback - we want to see how we’re doing. Are we ahead? Behind? Should we be working harder? Dog sports can be lonely and lacking in feedback and comparison can fill that void - just not very well!

I saw a post that reminded readers to “do it anyway,” and I knew I had to unpack that old adage. In short, I think this adage is skipping a lot of important details - after all we don’t just walk up to a cliff and jump without a parachute! No, there is much more to “doing it anyway” so let’s unpack that today.

I knew it would be a great conversation, but I had no idea that multiple-Westminster-winning, and podium-loving Cynthia Horner is such a devotee of the importance of a strong mental game! She had me at process goals. Fan-girling aside, listen to what Cynthia has to share about the importance of mindset when it comes to major competitions and why she wishes her dog “good luck.”

I’m all excited to share a preview of my new class, “From good to grit.” This episode will give you an overview of what mental toughness is, how it’s different from grit, and why we need both to pursue the big goals we have for ourselves. I’m excited to talk about this topic and give you a preview into what will be a great course!

I posted a reel the other week that got a big reaction. It said that what’s making us nervous is our fear of repeating the past. This hit home with a lot of folks so I thought I’d unpack it this week and give you some ways to turn those thoughts to the positive!

The energy we bring when we compete or even pick up a leash is critical to our success. After all, our dogs are brilliant at picking up on our energy! Yet even with the best of intentions, “stuff” happens and we will find ourselves needing to get ourselves back in the right state quickly. This episode is pulled from the Q-Membership where we spent a month last summer getting our energy on point - Enjoy!

We think we have to be motivated in order to pursue our goals, but that’s just not true. We need discipline when our motivation inevitably wanes. Motivation is emotional. Discipline is rational. Still, life is easier (and more fun) when our motivation shows up to the party.

Let’s face it, we are not at 100% every single day - including trial days. For those days when you are just not feeling it, it’s okay to push through, but the best thing might be to simplify your goals and expectations. The same works if you (or your dog) is overwhelmed by an environment or otherwise can’t give it their all. Try it, you’ll like it!
