Robert Dover called into "On Point" with Meghna Chakrabarti this AM

[Hazelnut]

Hey dressage fans! Robert Dover called into National Public Radio today from Wellington, Florida to share his insight on losing/handling difficulty and how it helps in the long run. The “On Point” segment was on the new Netflix series, LOSERS, how handling sports defeats can make an athlete stronger.

It was cool to hear the commentator say, “this is Robert from Wellington.” I thought," this is going to be about horses" and I was right! The audio link isn’t up yet - but if your interested, I put a link to the show for when it is up. It was a good segment on using failure to improve, even without Robert Dover.

Wow, thank you so much for the heads up! I love Robert, including the fact he has such a diverse range of interests outside of the world of horses. A fellow NPR listener, apparently!

It was pretty amazing to hear a top dressage rider call in!

Oh cool, my husband started watching the Losers series, I’ll have him on the
lookout for future episodes.
