Meet one of Kirsten’s star⭐ pupils! Kenzie Chang is a national champion equestrian 🏇, Team Gold Medalist🥇at the 2021 Pony Finals, and Winner of the North American pre junior trials. Kenzie has been working with Kirsten for close to a year now and is showing why it can be so beneficial to have a peak performance coach in your corner 👏. She has put so many of Kirsten’s tools into practice and is reaping all of the benefits as she continues down her equestrian journey.
Kenzie is wise far beyond her years and offers plenty of takeaways for people of all ages. Kenzie discusses how she started her riding career, overcoming nerves before entering the ring and growth mindset (become the student before becoming the teacher!)
This is another great installment in the “Talking to the Student Athlete” series (and our youngest competitor yet!)
Here is Kenzie “remembering the future” as she chases Gold.
I woke up early and ate breakfast at the horse show. I then got on Gia and flatted while it was still cool outside. After I got off and listened to some music while I cleaned my boots. Then I used the restroom before going to walk the course. When I walked the course I found my targets and points to turn before I walked it a second time with Sean. When I was done went to go sit down and listened to more music while I played I want watermelon. I try to only watch a few riders go that have a similar horse type to limit altering the plan I have already decided on. When I was around 13 out I went over to Sean and went over my plan one more time before getting on. It’s nice that I flat in the morning so that I have a bit of a feeling of how she is that day and can really focus on my plan. After flatting around and riding the course in my head I went over my plan again with Sean before starting warm up jumps. Our last warm up jump is purposeful for a rub before walking straight towards the ring. When I enter Sean tells me to have fun and I walk into the ring. Went I get in the ring I let the announcer buzz me in and I salute the judge. I take I deep breathe and look for my first turn point as I go to jump one. Through the course I break it up and find places to get her stride back and reorganize, zooming in on the jump (task) at hand. Over the last jump I hold my body and race through the timers to see that I had just produced a clear round.
