I spent the last week at a horse show. Part of showing is dealing with personal emotions and for me it is also about knowing how to deal with my student’s emotions. Whenever we show, I want to make sure that my students get the most they can out of the experience whether they win or lose. This is considerably easier if they win but if they lose it is my job to make sure that they understand what they did well, what they can improve on and what they can learn from the process and experience of participating.
