Mastermind Season 2, Episode 3: Widening the Nervous System’s Window of Capacity

This is the third session of Equestrian Mastermind with top riders Lauren Sprieser, Olivia LaGoy-Weltz, and Lehua Custer guided by transformational life coach Natalie Hummel. This episode was recorded on February 19th, 2024. Natalie prompts the group to talk about the avoidant strategies their nervous system uses in moments of high stress. In the third episode, they reflect on the mindset shift from the previous episode and discuss how they can widen their nervous system’s window of capacity to create peak performance: • How they have used the tools they’ve learned in previous sessions in the real world. • Myths about the practices that create peak performance. • A visualization exercise that helps them turn towards the feelings they avoid so that they can create a nervous system that can hold in the reality of competition. • Learning to stay present in a stressful competitive environment. Join Natalie, Lauren, Olivia, and Lehua in this exciting conversation on widening their nervous system’s window of capacity.
