Equestrian Fitness

id=BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5433267104624902930I am wrong. Not often I say those words, but I am happy to admit it on this occasion. I have previously had a very negative experience working with an equestrian rider, and it tarnished my view of the whole bunch (and their domineering mothers).

Recently, despite rave misgivings, I have been working with 3 equestrian riders who are a credit to their sport, to female athletes and the younger generation as a whole. They would stand up well in any sporting environment as far as dedication, work ethic, intelligence and willingness to learn is concerned. They are also very engaged in the whole business of becoming fit for horse riding.

For those of you who aren’t sure what exactly equestrianism involves here are some clips:

Sean Clifford- Point Guard
I feel that training with South West Talent and James Marshall has been the best thing I've done for my basketball career so far. It has greatly improved my overall athleticism which has been a real benefit to me when on court. More importantly, however, the training has enabled me to continue playing whilst suffering from a back injury which has caused me real problems over a number of years. It has made huge improvements more recently and I am confident that I will be in good shape to play this coming season.
