When Changing Your Goals Leaves You Disappointed

Equiteam’s Liz Daniels and Louise Gillings chat about how moving the goal posts and changing your expectations at the last minute can often lead to disappointment and means that you forget to enjoy the moment. After an interesting few weeks as a coach, rider, friend and general observer, Liz asks Lou if she thinks our natural competitive streak can actually hinder our enjoyment levels, and why – once we get to an event – do we go from being proud just to qualify, to moving the goal posts and then disappointed that we didn’t win?! We would love to hear your own thoughts, experiences and conclusions on this topic!
