This week on WEQ Weekly, Raegan and Maddy break down the start of postseason action with the ODAC and ECAC Single Discipline Conference Championships, highlighting key results, standout performances, and what it means as teams shift their focus toward Nationals.
Then, sport psychology consultant Mario Soto rejoins us for a timely conversation ahead of postseason competition.
The discussion dives into the mental side of collegiate equestrian — from handling high-pressure moments and staying present when everything is on the line, to bouncing back from mistakes mid-ride and understanding what true confidence and consistency look like. They also explore the unique challenges of the NCEA format, including competing on unfamiliar horses, balancing individual performance within a team environment, and navigating the mental demands of college riding.
Whether you’re currently competing, going through the recruiting process, or preparing for collegiate equestrian, this episode is packed with practical tools and insights to help you perform at your best when it matters most.
Listen in for an honest conversation and take away tools you can use for success!
