Learning Polo with Steve Thompson: An International Renowned Trainer

Polo takes lots of practice and a commitment to the fundamentals. Many times I have stood at the side of a polo field and wondered "How do I become such a great player as them?" Like any sport it takes focus and commitment. Watching videos helps, practicing helps but having the right coach can make a huge difference in your play. Our site provides information for beginning polo players. We are about contributing to the polo game and furthering the interest of future players. Happy Playing! 

You can learn a little more about Steve Thompson as an international renowned teacher at Prensa Polo. He also has his own website jam packed with lots of information and help @ SeveThompson Polo. For those who seek some of the best teachers in the field, need a little help and want to consider a seasoned coaching from an expert you might want to reach out. He is a very personable guy! 

Here is a little advice for you from Steve, "Physics dictates that the polo mallet when swung  is already correct before the player interferes with it . So if you are planning a training session , work on all of the riding positions in the saddle that will allow you to find a multitude of planes - then you just need to be able to balance yourself as you produce a pendulum within each shot ."

(For those who understand my business background much of success is in personality.)

 

The Mental Side of the Game of Polo

 The Mental Game of Polo by Bill Cole provide mental strategies that help people win games. Polo is as much mental game as it is a physical game. He provides a solid article of the softer things associated with polo. You may want to read it for yourself.

The 4 mental strategies are.....

Think Correctly: Think positivity and don't psyche yourself out. 

Stay Calm and Energize: Learn to meditate and stay calm. 

Managed Down and Up Times: Know how to manage your down times and up times to maintain focus when it is needed.

Believe You Belong: Know that you should be there playing the game and in the game.

The Benefits of Escanaba Polo Mallets for Polo Beginners

Polo Mallets are expensive and cost a lot of money. In most cases they are $200+. When you add that to that other equipment it can be $1,200 or more for a helmets, boots and more. That is a lot of money to get started in the game. Considering the expense of mallets and how often they break polo players are often looking for alternatives. 

Escanaba Polo Mallet Company offers quality entry level mallets for $99. While our mallets are just as good as those that are $200 we seek to make it easy for people to get started. Thus we keep our entry level mallets cheaper (If one is interest in a $250+ custom mallet they should contact us at escanabapolomalletcompany@gmail.com)

Here are a few attributes of our mallets you may like...

1.) Solid construction of bamboo and hardwood.

2.) Made in the U.S.A.

3.) Light. Under a few pounds.

Success in business comes from trying out new ideas. Escanaba Polo Mallet Co. has been playing around with different pricing strategies as it develops its mallet model. Having a level of flexibility helps to determine what the mallet will fetch in the market and ensure a reasonable return rate (Much of our profits go to charity so profit is necessary for our general mission.)

According to the US Chamber of commerce, "If you’ve already launched your business, you can experiment with these strategies until you determine what works best for your business. You can also vary strategies between products depending on the market for each good or service.". 

You may want to read the full article '7 Smart Pricing Strategies to Attract Customers'. It discusses price skimming, market penetration, premium pricing, economy pricing, bundle pricing, value pricing and dynamic pricing. They will help to determine the right strategy for you and your business.

For example, Escanaba Polo Mallet Co. is looking at using something like the $99 mallet as market penetration price but we would eventually want to offer custom mallets in the $250+ range (Prices are always subject to change. We are still working on the right price.). They are similar but one has a higher quality and custom focus for individual players.

Nearside Hit in Polo: Video Helps Explain

One of the difficult things for new polo players is the nearside hit. Its not a natural movement. When starting it is difficult to position the arm in such a way that leads to stronger form and more control. The other day I went out and trained a horse and beyond general control there is also my ability to hit the nearside well. Practice makes perfect so I need a lot more practice!

This video really helps understand the nearside hit and how the arm and ball are positioned. 

Persistence is necessary in Small Business Development

You can be smart and you can be rich and that will give you lots of opportunities. Sometimes genius fails and sometimes rich kids find themselves relatively useless to society when they grow up.  While these things can really help or hurt you they won't be the only factors in success. There are other things that can make or break the business professional, college student, skilled worker, or someone engaged in sports. It is persistence of thought and action. 

If you own a small business you will want to be persistent. Escanaba Polo Mallet Co supports small business development and often conducts a review to see how we can improve the small business climate in our home towns and nationally. Share our article link on social media if you like. :)

A few tips on persistence:

1. Know what you want to accomplish. 

2. See yourself doing it.

3. Break it down into actionable steps.

4. Adjust your schedule to fulfill those steps.

5. When things get in the way just get back to it.

6. Learn as much as you can.

7. Find new goals when finished.
