And you will skillfully invoke the &“As Ifprinciple&” to think and behave &“as if&” you are already experiencing your wants and needs.The author explains how words, and word-images, play a major role in determining your actions. For example, if you say &“challenge&” instead of &“problem,&” you will positively enhance your performance.The &“training&” chapters take all the general principles and apply them to specific riding situations. The final chapters deal with &“competition,&” focusing all the tools and techniques learned earlier on actual performance scenarios.Throughout the informative and spirited text, there are scores of personal anecdotes about some of America&’s leading riders—and their affinity with the ideas and teaching of the author.
