For riders who want to perform with more confidence, calm and consistency
The Edge Performance Hub is a monthly membership community where riders learn the psychology behind their performance, build practical skills they can use in every ride and every competition, and do it alongside others who understand exactly what this sport asks of you.
Most resources on the mental side of riding give you information and leave you to figure out the rest on your own. The Edge Performance Hub is different — it is a structured community where you learn, apply and keep building psychological skills month by month, alongside riders who are working through the same things.
You get sports psychology frameworks that make sense of how your brain actually works under pressure. You get a monthly live session to ask your real questions and go deep on a psychology topic. And you get a community where honest conversation is the norm and comparison culture is not welcome.
Being around people who take the mental side as seriously as you do changes everything. No explaining yourself. Just real conversation with riders who understand exactly what this sport asks of you.
A space where you can say "I'm struggling before events" or "I lost confidence after a fall" without it being a big deal. The kind of conversation that actually helps you move forward.
The mental work compounds. Showing up month after month, with the same community and the same tools, builds a foundation that holds up when it actually counts.
"I ride so much better at home. The moment I get to a competition my brain just switches off."
Competition anxiety and pressure response
"I overthink everything. My brain does not switch off and I burn out before I even begin."
Overthinking and self-doubt
"One bad round and I spiral for weeks. I cannot seem to reset the way other riders do."
Emotional regulation and resilience
The Hub gives you ongoing access to sports psychology frameworks, a monthly live session, a growing resource library and a community of riders doing this work alongside you.
A growing library of tools built directly from Savanna's work — confidence, nervous system regulation, competition preparation, cognitive reframing, goal setting, understanding your brain. The knowledge riders normally only get through 1:1 sessions.
One live Zoom session every month — Savanna covers a psychology topic and then opens up for Q&A so you can bring whatever is actually coming up for you. All replays posted within 24 hours, plus you get access to the full library of past sessions from day one.
Event prep check-ins, honest conversation about setbacks and wins, riders who take this as seriously as you do. A space built without comparison culture — where being honest about your struggles is the norm.
Early access to every episode of the On The Edge podcast, plus application prompts and discussion threads so the ideas actually become useful in your own riding rather than just interesting to listen to.
There is a reason your brain does what it does under pressure. Inside the Hub you learn what it is — how your nervous system, beliefs and self-talk shape your performance. Knowledge that changes how you see yourself as a rider.
Guided workbooks, structured exercises and tools you keep forever. The skills you build inside the Hub travel with you into training, competition and life — not just while you are a member.
A new framework or tool lands in the library with a short explainer on how to use it and when. Apply it before your next training session.
A live Zoom with Savanna — she covers a psychology topic relevant to riders, then opens up for Q&A. Bring your questions, your blocks, whatever is coming up. Interactive and practical.
Dig into the resource library — frameworks, workbooks and tools organised by theme. Pick what's relevant to where you are right now and take it into your next ride.
Early access to the latest On The Edge episode with application prompts and a community discussion thread to close out the month.
Working with Savanna completely changed how I approach competition. I actually understand now why my brain was doing what it was doing — and I have real tools to work with it, not fight it.
I had tried so many things for my competition nerves. This was the first time someone explained the psychology behind it in a way that actually made sense for riding. The frameworks are ones I still use every single event.
Having somewhere to ask the specific questions that come up around competition — with someone who actually rides at a high level and understands the emotional reality of it — is something I have not found anywhere else.
For NZD $30 a month you get ongoing access to sports psychology frameworks, a monthly live session with Q&A, a growing resource library, and a community of riders doing this work alongside you.
Most riders spend more than this on a single lesson, a set of boots, or an entry fee. The mental side of your riding is just as trainable as the physical — and it has just as much impact on what happens when it counts.
"This is not a quick fix. It is where serious riders come to do serious work on the mental side of their sport — together."

You are actively competing and you know the gap between your training performance and your competition performance is psychological. You want a system and a community to work through it with.
You are working your way up and you want to build psychological strength now — before the pressure increases — alongside others who are doing the same thing.
You want to actually understand how your mind works and learn practical skills you can take into your riding and into every other area of your life.
Savanna Stirling is a Cognitive Behavioural Hypnotherapist and sports and performance therapist with a Master's in Psychology and a Postgraduate qualification in Neuroscience.
She is also a 4★ international eventing rider — which means every framework and tool inside the Hub has been tested against the real psychological demands of competitive equestrian sport. She does not teach theory. She teaches what actually works, because she has lived it herself.
The Edge Performance Hub is an extension of that work — made accessible, ongoing, and built around community.
