ONLINE PORTION – BEGINS SEPTEMBER
NAPLES FLORIDA – NOVEMBER 21 – 25

_____________

Motivated by the belief that a rider’s head and heart are as important as their hips and hands, the Daniel Stewart’s Coaching Team prides themselves on helping equestrians match their strong leg and seat with equally strong courage, concentration and confidence. Training riders inside and outside the arena, our team is the only one in the US who specializes in motivational sport psychology mental coaching clinics and seminars to help equestrians overcome fears, frustrations and failures by teaching them how to cope with pressure, mistakes, show jitters, negative memories, and more.

_____________

ONLINE PORTION
We’ll begin our instructor certification with an online team meeting (Zoom). The exact date and time will be determined by participants availability. Following our first meeting students will receive a copy of our team’s five mental coaching seminars, including written summaries and fillable worksheets. Follow-up team meetings will occur at one-week intervals, during which time students will be asked to memorize, rehearse and present each seminar.

_____________

NAPLES FLORIDA PORTION
The in-person portion of our certification class focuses on learning our team’s twelve mental coaching show jumping, dressage and cross country clinics. Local riders and horses will be used to demonstrate each clinic (students will not be bring, or use their own horses). A portion of each day will be dedicated to discussing marketing and promotion strategies for any coaches intending to charge a fee for their clinics and seminars.

UPON GRADUATION
Certified instructors receive a team certificate, letter of recommendation from Coach Stewart and a press release to promote themselves on local and/or social media. The name and contact information of all coaches will appear on Coach Stewart’s website and social media so riders and groups can locate, contact and hire them.

Coaches set, collect and keep 100% of fees earned by teaching our seminars and/or clinics. No portion of their earnings are shared with Coach Stewart. An annual online meeting to discuss new clinics, seminars and ideas is required to maintain status ($250, date and time to be determined by the team). Coaches can purchase copies of Coach Stewart’s Fit & Focused in 52 and Bolder, Braver, Brighter for half price and sell them for a profit at full price.
