Marci Powell Fall Seven, Ride Eight

Do your nerves take over when the pressure is on?

Whether you’re riding into the alleyway at a sold-out rodeo, stepping onto a stage, or facing competition in your own arena of life, anxiety has a way of stealing focus and shaking confidence.

In Unrattled: conquering competition anxiety, professional barrel racer and mindset coach Marci Powell shares her real, behind-the-scenes stories of battling nerves under the lights—and how she learned to ride through them with courage and grit.

Through powerful rodeo moments, relatable lessons, and practical tools, you’ll discover:

• Why anxiety isn’t weakness—it’s energy you can use.
• How to reframe fear of failure, judgment, and pressure into focus and fuel.
• Simple routines, breathing techniques, and visualization strategies to calm nerves.
• The mindset habits champions use to perform when it matters most.
• How to build a strong identity that rides taller than your fear.

This isn’t a book about eliminating anxiety—it’s about mastering it. With each chapter, you’ll feel like you’re sitting in the trailer with Marci, hearing the truth about nerves, pressure, and performance—and walking away with tools you can use in your own arena.

If you’ve ever felt your hands shake, your heart race, or your confidence crumble before you ride in the alle, this book is for you.

It’s time to turn anxiety into focus. Step up, breathe deep, and ride unrattled.
