The little things in technique that make a big difference in time.

Better Basics Goat Tying Clinics

Goat Tying has become a highly competitive event at all levels of rodeo, which requires physical ability and horsemanship.  Better Basics Goat Tying Clinics are designed to improve each student's skill and technique for faster, more consistent and competitive times in the rodeo arena.  

Students begin with instruction on fundamental skills and horsemanship.  Each element of goat tying is broken down and worked on separately so that the students develop an understanding of the desired movements that are necessary to perform each task. Along with the instructional how, a why is also given, so that the students understand the importance of the technique. Instruction advances with the student's skill level to continually challenge and improve their performance. A variety of goats are at each clinic so that the students learn how to handle and win in any situation. Students are video taped throughout the clinic.  Discussion periods cover equipment, how to practice and compete, physical condition, mental preparation and reviewing of video tapes.  Jackpots are held to test the student's ability in a competition like setting.

Tip of the Month

Becoming Mentally Tough

It's easy to think about the "what ifs" or the bad things that could go wrong in a run.  But to become a champion, you've got to learn how to control your thoughts.  Catch yourself thinking the 'bad' thoughts & MAKE it a good thought.  With practice this becomes easier & you'll learn to believe in yourself more.  Almost everyone can have doubts, but how you handle them determines how good your run will be. 

So TOUGHEN UP MENTALLY!

 

Motivation is what gets you started. Habit is what keeps you going.
