- Synopsis
- Using the power of brain science to unlock the equestrian body&’s full potential.Every movement of the rider's body starts in the brain. In these pages, Olympic competitor and coach Marc Nölke explains how to direct the specific areas of the brain that control stability, sense of rhythm, precision of movement, breathing, and vision. With his unique brain-focused exercises, riders learn how to change theinputsent to their brain to get healthier, more athleticoutput, which can include intentional and unintentional movement, and functions of circulatory, hormonal, or immune systems.The brain decides how you ride and how you feel when you ride based on theinputyou send it. Traditionally equestrians have worked to improve the brain'soutput(riding skills) by training theoutput(riding skills). Nölke's innovative &“Neuro-Rider Program&” is based on achieving betteroutput(better riding skills), not by endlessly practicing the movements, but instead by changing theinput—what you send to your brain for it to process and interpret.In a series of over 40 unique exercises, Nölke helps riders improve the signals they send to their brain from the:Proprioceptive systemVisual systemVestibular systemRespiratory systemRegular practice will improve the rider's overall performance as well as address specific issues, such as:Coordination and fine-tuning of the aidsBody symmetryHead postureHand positionAnxiety in certain situationsInappropriate emotions and emotional responsesDifficulties with rhythmUnlevel hipsShoulder crookednessFocus and concentrationIn time, Neuro-Rider training will make you feel lighter on horseback, help you follow the horse's movements more naturally, increase your relaxation in the saddle, and enable you to become more effective overall.
