Any tips to help with the "approach the obstacle with good intent then pull up right on the edge, repeat to frustration and then frustrated move on" type scenario? Running a coaching/skills session and some tips here would be a great help....
Thanks
I'm not sure I recognise NLP in that description. 'Anchoring' would work with confidence, but that would take a whole different coaching session to biking, and you would need riding skills along side NLP, for it to do what you want. I'm not a 'practitioner' just read up on NLP recently. I would suggest you get yourself a basic book on the subject, read it yourself, and see if you can quickly apply any of the techniques to help your clients. I think it can help, but don't think it's as black and white as you may suggest, plus to apply it to each person would take a one on one approach, and they would need to want to learn it. Well, that's my take, nothing ventured - nothing gained, have a read up on it.
Thanks Woodsman, will have a look.... will be working on a 1:1 with a friend to try and make a bit of progress.

How about scrapping the NLP and try "approach a similar but slightly less intimidating obstacle with good intent and ride straight over it, repeat until confidence builds and it's a non issue to ride the smaller obstacle, then return to original obstacle. Watch others ride over original obstacle without incident and with apparent ease. Decide for themselves to have a go in a confident mindset and then find out it wasn't so bad after all."
