Confidence, Goals and the Path to a Gold Buckle

Donene Taylor is a certified mental performance coach and author who has worked with some of the top athletes in the sport of rodeo, and she discusses her relationship with confidence and her journey to her gold buckle in the women’s tie-down on this long-awaited episode of The Breakdown.

Donene works through how to love the journey, keep up with your goals and how to redefine the way you view yourself as an athlete to open new doors in not only your roping career, but in daily life. You might want to take notes, because Taylor drops some major truth bombs about what might be holding you back in your roping, and shares how the her newest book, “Master the Art of Winning,” can help you reach your goals.

This episode is brought to you by Fast Back Ropes.
