Description

In equestrian sports, your mental state directly affects your horse’s performance. Nervous energy, tension, or frustration can travel down the reins. By learning to regulate your body’s stress response and maintain inner mental steadiness, you create the calm confidence that builds true partnership in the arena.

That’s why Dr. G recommends starting here. The Foundations Package brings together two groundbreaking books and Dr. G’s signature audio/workbook program to equip you with the essential performance skills every athlete needs. You’ll develop awareness of both your mindset and your body’s stress responses—so you can stay composed when it counts, recover from mistakes faster, and compete with confidence.

Think of this as your foundations for peak performance: mastering focus, breaking cycles of doubts and negative thinking, and trusting your abilities when it matters most. This is the cornerstone of lasting success: mental toughness built on both awareness and action.

What You’ll Learn

With the Foundations Package, you’ll learn how to:

Identify the biggest cause of choking and how to avoid it
Build championship concentration
Stay calm and composed under pressure
Manage last-minute negativity and self-doubts before they derail you
Quickly let go of mistakes, disappointments, and bad performances
Recognize the hidden mental traps that keep you stuck in slumps
Rebuild confidence, composure, and focus even in the toughest moments

The Bottom Line

The Foundations Package is where it all begins. By integrating mindset training with nervous system awareness, it helps you overcome slumps and fears, calm your nerves, and perform freely under pressure. Most importantly, it builds unwavering focus, confidence, resilience, and the mental toughness you need to perform like a champion when it matters most.

Testimonials

I have downloaded your 14 Steps to Mental Toughness and have been listening to them with my son. I must say that it is having a very positive impact on both of us!! We live in the UK where this type of science is not well known, but now I am persuaded by it! I am so grateful that I discovered your work as my son is only 17 so has plenty of time to benefit.

A real breakthrough book for athletes! … I was able to put the breakthrough therapy of `brainspotting’ to immediate use with my clients and the results were spectacular! … The authors wrote this book so that athletes could also benefit. … I recommend this not just for therapists who work with athletes, but for athletes themselves!

Amazon Reviewer

An incredibly helpful book. It helped me make sense of my pitching problems and better yet, get rid of them!

Mike Roberts

This is a GREAT tool to use with any sport parents. I had the parents…listen to it in one of our meetings and I couldn’t believe the response. It opened their eyes. Doc, you have such a great way of presenting things. Your humor makes parents willing to listen to all the things they’ve been doing wrong and what they need to do to change without getting defensive. Bless you

Ray B

I was listening to your “Parents” audio today on my drive and I have to say it opened my eyes! Especially the part where you talk about “good” and “bad” nervous. What a life skills gift to teach parents how to teach their kids how to roll with the “juice” that naturally comes up as you’re about to perform! The “Juice” is normal, it is what will fuel you. Don’t fear “The Juice” embrace it. Such a great audio! Thank you.

Wesley

I just love your new book! Parents on my team were driving me nuts and making me really angry, getting in the way of me doing a decent job of coaching. This book has helped me get things in perspective and to recruit my parents to help me! I feel like I now have a much better understanding of where they’re coming from and how to effectively work with them. Thank you! Thank you! I won’t quit coaching after all!

John B

Thanks so much! I finally learned how to get my parents on the same page that I’m on. They’re actually helping me now! Go Figure! It has made things so much much easier for me to do my job. I think this is a critically important book for coaches in any sport.

Jack

Dr. G, You did a GREAT job with 14 Steps. I can’t tell you how much it has helped me relax and focus! My congrats and sincere thanks.

Gianluca

Coach G, Thanks for the downloads. I absolutely love the content. You have opened my kids eyes and I have seen the difference immediately in their smiles and improved play. What a gift!

Kris

Congratulations on your program, “14 Steps!” They are truly outstanding and thoroughly cover all the mental aspects of sports which are challenging to athletes and coaches. We are using them this year as part of our weekly training program and the kids love your stories and teachings!

Ken S.

Your new program has really helped both of my kids even though they are in different sports! My daughter used to get too nervous before she played and she told me how much more relaxed and focused she feels now and I can see it in her level of confidence and success on the field. My son had a long history of doing better in practice than competition, leaving him frustrated and us not knowing how to help him. What a difference I see in him now when he competes under pressure. Thanks so much — you’re a great teacher!

CR – Parent

Alan, What I REALLY like about your programs is that you take athletes through the exercises and personally teach them how to stay calm under pressure, relax the nights before big competitions and how to use visualization to improve performance. My kids love doing the relaxation exercises although they sometimes chuckle at your extreme Boston accent!” Thanks for a great training tool!

Ed

I want to let you know how much I enjoy and respect your series, “14 Steps.” I coach a small high school and your program not only helped my team play better under pressure, it significantly helped my 17 year old daughter who’s a three sport athlete. She used to think too much and get too nervous going into games. Now she plays the way she practices, relaxed and aggressively. Thanks for your product.

Gail

Amazing Book! Purchased this book for my husband and once he started reading the book, he couldn’t put it down. He said it was fascinating and so “spot on”. My husband played professional ball and my son is currently at a Div I college playing ball. My husband said that if he knew what this book speaks of back when he played pro ball, he would have had a longer pro career. Every athlete, coach, and parent (especially father) of an athlete will benefit from reading this book.

I sent for your 14 Steps series to help me face extremely grueling equestrian competition on the Florida winter circuit. I proposed taking my horse into a new division and challenging myself and my trainer to step up big time in a big arena. We are halfway through and the results are astonishing! I listen to the audio’s every evening. Your approach is clear, straightforward and reassuring. It’s working!

Rebecca

Dr. G, I just finished reading This is Your Brain On Sports and I absolutely loved it! It opened my eyes to what really causes athletes to fall apart and it will help me be more effective with my players!

Frank

Dr. G, I don’t know how to thank you! When I first contacted you I was a total mess. I was freaked out, couldn’t focus and had trouble even getting on Banjo just to practice! And forget about shows! I was far too nervous to even compete without panicking. Our work together and your audio series (14 Steps) has really helped me do a 180 with my riding! I can finally concentrate on staying connected to Banjo when I ride and I am able to compete again without freaking out! In fact, last weekend I showed and realized afterwards that I was actually having fun! Thank you for helping me get my riding back! Gratefully,

Rene

Hi Alan: The area championship went very well. I did the higher level practice round very successfully on Friday and finished the competition on my dressage score with a great stadium and cross country round! I was so pleased with how everything went. My best news though is that I ended up in first place on the leader board for the year! Thank you so, so much for all of your help. Your audio’s (14 Steps) are wonderful!
