Just finished up the GCPRAs Saturday and I’m feeling so grateful to have my horse Henry. Stoked for this roping season, the finals, and next year and next GCPRA season.
Thank you to my partners for roping with me and to all my friends/family for the support, for helping me break it down, and taking the time to help me improve.
I did not start the year good, to say the least I fu***ng sucked, but I finally got my confidence back and my last few were probably the sharpest roping I’ve done. Can’t wait for the rodeos to start back up and I’m super excited for jackpot season.
I don’t think I’m some gift to team roping or anything, in fact, I’m so beyond mad at myself because I didn’t even make the open. I’m mad at myself because I got in my own way and it took myself over half the year to pull my head outta my ass, stop over thinking everything, and just rope. I’m going to use this as fuel to do better the next season.
I just want to share a few things that have helped me with something I struggle with often, self doubt and confidence. Maybe it’ll help someone else.
Find you some good friends who will spend countless hours trying to help you improve.
I highly recommend reading With Winning In Mind - “Winners are convinced they will finish first. The others hope to finish first.”
Like my friends over at the RedHawk Academy, too fast, too sharp, too focused. Start BJJ and go listen to Tim Welch and Sean O’Malley’s podcast, especially when they talk about the mentality it takes to win on the big stage.
Above all seek out Jesus. Proverbs 16:9 “In their hearts humans plan their course, but the Lord establishes their steps.” You don’t have to understand God’s plan, you just NEED to trust him. Give it up to the big guy.
Team roping will humble you.
Just do the work, be nice, be positive, believe in yourself, and give it up to the big guy! Thank you all🫡
