Nerves Poisoning the Fun Webinar Instructor Silke Wittig Are you a nervous competitor? Do you find yourself dreading trialing? Is your anxiety starting to chip away at your joy for the sniffing game? This webinar will offer some approaches that are designed just for you!

Mental Management Techniques for Nervous Competitors

Are you struggling with trial nerves before and during a trial? Do you do well in training, but your performance drops at competition? Are you thrown off your game when something unexpected happens? Do you dwell on past failures? Do negative comments or people affect you? Are you an instructor or trial official who experiences “impostor syndrome”? Do you tell your friends that “your dog needs a better handler”?

Your dog is already doing his part – now YOU need to start doing yours!

Certified Mental Management® Coach Silke Wittig will give you a brief intro to the Mental Management® performance model, discuss performance under pressure, incl. recovery strategies and contingency planning, and how to implement the Mental Management® Mental System before, during and after a trial.

Note: this webinar is a brief introduction to Mental Management® and does NOT cover the complete Mental Management® Program.

Should You Take This Webinar

Are you a dog handler who:

struggles with trial nerves
doubt yourself and lose confidence easily
cannot let go of past failures
let other people or comments negatively affect you
want to enjoy trialing as much as they do training
want to do well consistently and be a better teammate to your dog

I loved the examples Silke gave for each of the Mental Management elements. It made what could have been abstract concepts easy to apply to Nosework

Vickey G. Nerves Poisoning the Fun Webinar

I find Silke's tone and material very helpful, kind and reassuring that I am doing what I need to do to support my dog. I am also doing the mental management in another class and find that helpful also.
