2. DRIVE
 Extreme sports include
mental preparedness,
speed, a high level of
exertion, and a willing
partner (my horse). My
drive comes from wanting
to accomplish and push
limits in the barrel racing
arena.

3. RISK/INSPIRING
 The risk taking perspective is a mask over the participants “non-
existent” fear (Brymer 2013). “Studies indicate that experienced
participants display low levels of anxiety, a strong sense of reality and
emotional control. One study found that participants exhibited self-
responsibility and were deemed to be resourceful, energetic and
adaptable “(Brymer 2013).

4. KEEPS YOU DRIVEN

 Do you have the stomach to win?
 This video sums up my passion that comes from my drive to
become better and to push through fears I may have when racing.
Fear can either take over or you can amaze yourself by how far you
have pushed yourself to accomplish the goals you set.

5. PASSION

 Passion has a funny way of trumping logic!
 “Men and women shared personality characteristics that included
above average intelligence, above average desire for success and
recognition, above average independence, self-assertiveness and
forthrightness” (Brymer 2013).

6. THE WHY?
 “Why you, ask? Well, determination to become successful led me
to study the “science of success” “ (Smith 2012).
