"On trial day, great mindset can't fix poor training, but a poor mindset can absolutely destroy great training."
— Kathy Keats
Is your performance not matching up to how hard you train?
How do top competitors consistently perform well?
Why don't they suffer from:
- competition nerves
- overwhelm
- below par skill execution
- or a loss of focus...
...while those issues leave you frustrated and unable to perform at your best?
I've got a secret for you.
Top performers DO suffer from those things.
They are human too. They just have better systems in place to cope with those sensations when they arise than you do.
And you can develop those same skills and habits.
THE MYTH - SUCCESS ISN'T *JUST* ABOUT SKILL.
Of course, you need skills.
But why do some handlers with excellent skills perform below their abilities, while others consistently shine with wonderful connection and teamwork?
Performance is A DIFFERENT SET OF SKILLS from physical skill development.
Performance mindset is about connection, about letting go, about communication.
Dogs are incredible at reading our mood, our energy, where we are directing our focus.
When you're in the wrong mindset, you've cut the lines of communication with your dog.
So mindset isn't just for trial day. It's for training day. It's for every day.
When you integrate mindset into your training, that's where the magic happens.
INTRODUCING...
The WINNER'S CIRCLE 2025
FEEL CONFIDENT, CONNECTED, JOYFUL — KNOWING YOU BELONG.
We tend to think of MINDSET as one thing. But look at this list:
- BELIEF.
- CONFIDENCE.
- MOTIVATION.
- TRUST.
- CONNECTION.
- FOCUS.
- TIMING.
- STRATEGY.
- PERSEVERANCE.
- CLARITY.
- RESILIENCE.
- EXECUTION.
- FLOW.
We need all of these, but notice...almost all of these are mindset-related.
You do need the physical skills. There's no getting around putting in the work.
BUT mindset work is a HUGE PART of that work. You need all these pieces INTEGRATED and SYSTEMIZED into your training and trialing.
Your skills (mental and physical) are really just a language, a means of expressing yourself, to communicate clearly and connect fully to your dog, your partner.
And your mind has to be clear to do that.
At the end of the day, that's the kind of performance we all want.
MODULE #1
THE WINNER'S SELF-IMAGE
You can't outperform your self-image for long. So we need to rewire the mind, taking advantage of neuroplasticity. Rewrite your stories, challenge outdated belief systems, flush out the fears, squash the Imposter Syndrome.
MODULE #2
THE WINNER'S HABITS
How to show up in the best way possible every time, and set yourself and your dog up for success. Identify your *stamp*, the good and the bad. Micro-habits of thought and action that build identity. Environment matters. Motivation isn't what you think.
MODULE #3
THE WINNER'S FOCUS
Focus is the secret superpower of top performers. Almost all mindset work is to solidify this element. The irony is our mind is also our biggest distraction. So we must overcome some hard-wired gremlins in the process.
MODULE #4
THE WINNER'S MENTAL TOUGHNESS
Mental toughness has many facets. Grit, resilient, determination. Take a stand or let it go. The right tool at the right time can make all the difference.
MODULE #5
THE WINNER'S CONFIDENCE
Thinking about confidence in the right way. Maybe you don't want to feel nervous, but is that actually confidence? How to manage nerves and build real confidence, and how to cope when you aren't feeling it using what we've learned so far.
MODULE #6
THE WINNER'S CONNECTION
This is your flow state. It doesn't mean everything is perfect but everything is connecting. You are present, non-judgmental, and simply working the task in front of you with your teammate. But how do you get here? How can you train for it?

YOUR COACH.
I'm Kathy Keats. I've been around elite sport most of my life as a competitor and coach, won world and national championships in different disciplines (basketball, dog agility, sheepdog trialing).
...and had to work hard for all my success.
I've dealt with adversity from major injuries requiring potentially career-ending surgery to being nearly cut from my university team to blanking out right before my World Championship winning run.
I learned early on that the path to success was very bumpy.
I also learned it wasn't all about talent. There was a success process that could take you a long, long way.
Now, my calling is to bring my experiences from elite sport into the dog world and pass them on so you can pursue your dream goals and reach levels you never thought possible.
Here's what others have to say...
"The course exceeded my expectations, and I think it was life-changing. I am not done yet, but each lesson is enlightening. There are lots of things that you said that I wish I had learned way younger."
Geneviève M.
"I am 100% convinced that your course had a significant impact on my ability to win the NOC. Looking back, I was so focused on WHAT we were doing, I had no idea how well he was doing cumulatively. I was truly focused on performance rather than results, and it paid off big time."
Kori B.
Three years ago I made it to the finals only to basically melt in a puddle of nerves. This year, I kept to my competition mind and laid down three great runs putting me in the finals.Your voice, your ideas and your guidance were there when I stepped into the ring. I felt enough calmness and power to run the finals clean, a momentous occasion for me and all I ever wanted to accomplish. I have taken my power back and feel happy, grateful and accomplished in a way that has nothing to do with agility.
Marianne D.
"I enrolled in the course to help me with the nerves and mental challenges that I was facing as I began entering the jumping trials. Little did I know that the lessons learned would help me with the challenges that I would face at work and in my personal life. I was able to apply what I was learning in real time and come through some difficult times. I surprised myself with the 'mental toughness' I exhibited. It's not to say I didn't waiver, and I did have to go back and revisit some of the lessons - but that is the beauty of having all the materials to do so. I did really appreciate this flexibility. Thanks so much Kathy. I really needed to look inside myself to be able to make a change."
Meg P.
"This course is great. It has helped me in my perspective of agility, stimulated my thinking and analytical skills. The feedback has been very helpful and timely."
Sheila E.
"I love this course. I use the lessons and your wisdom in all parts of my life not just agility. It is helping me grow in confidence and helping me to identify a clearer picture of my goals and ambitions for agility."
Susan B.
"My pre trial procedure had started and I was feeling much more in control. Thank you Kathy for all your fabulous videos and generosity of spirit. Your courses have helped me so much."
Jill C.
"I have absolutely loved your online course!!! One of the best I have ever done. It was achievable, doable and very interesting."
Jodi B.
"Just wanted to say a special thanks for your mental management... I went into AAC Nats in a totally different frame of mind from our last time and we did awesome!"
Penny N.
"I was so amazed that I had taken so much of what I have learned and was able to use it during Nationals. I am not sure which I am happiest about, that my dog and I did so well at Nationals with our runs or that I managed something I have never before been able to do. I was completely aware while I was preparing to go into the ring that I felt very differently than I had two years before in the Challenger's Round. I felt that different really for every run. "
Rebecca B.
IS THIS COURSE RIGHT FOR YOU?
If you are serious about becoming a better performer and want a better connection with your dog, it doesn't matter if you are a beginner or world team member.
If you want to learn how to level up your handling, this course will help you do that.
The course emphasizes the handler side of the team and is applicable to all dog sports (and outside of dog sport as well), but as my expertise is in agility and sheepdog trialing, dog examples will come primarily from dog agility and herding, with a few other dog sports mixed in.
You do not have to be at the live calls, you can submit questions prior and all replays will be available, audios via podcast and transcripts.
Check out the FAQs at the bottom for more details.
Better mindset, better trust, better training, better teamwork!
