Good coaches change a rider‘s leg. Great coaches change a rider’s life.

Pressure Proof Instructor Certification Courses

Our team prides themselves on being the only program in the US that specializes in the development of the riders’ frame (supple, strong and symmetrical) and the riders’ frame-of-mind (confident, courageous and concentrated). You can select from one of four certification: Sport Psychology, Frame-by-Frame Video Analysis, Riding Clinics and Strength and Conditioning. Riders are not required to be instructors to join our team but must ride at an upper level and have an advanced knowledge of the mental and physical demands of riding. We have an amazing team of coaches from across the country and hope you’ll join us!
