About this Episode
In racing, I think we face this juxtaposition a lot, often in settings that can elicit high emotion.
We’re passionate about what we're doing.
We put a lot of time & work into it.
We’ve typically got aspirations surrounding competition.
We’ve often got an expectations - both about our performance and how things will go in general.
And, occasionally (perhaps more often than not), something doesn’t align w/ those expectations!
How we deal with that, I'd argue impacts not only our peace of mind, but ultimately our ability to perform.

Memory (Part 1)
I've raced for a long time, so I tend to take for granted some of the simple stuff. This quote can be adapted to our racing “If there’s a request that you keep forgetting, that’s a sign that it isn’t very important. The really important stuff doesn’t go away.” - Jason Fried.
Interdependence and Control
As we prepare for the upcoming season, it's natural to focus in on goal setting. But what we think about our goals for the upcoming season, we are usually thinking of the ultimate outcome. It's important to note that our outcomes in this sport are interdependent.
The Wiring of Intuition
We have so many things in our racing and in our lives that we connect the dots seemingly automatically. Probably way more often then we even realize. Connecting the dots on what we actually hear versus what we know or assume is happening.
Your Finest Hour
"To each, there comes in their lifetime a special moment when they are figuratively tapped on the shoulder and offered the chance to do a very special thing, unique to them and fitted to their talents. What a tragedy if that moment finds them unprepared or unqualified for that which could have been their finest hour." - Winston Churchill
FOPO
Fear of Other People's Opinions. FOPO. In racing it's easy to caught up in wanting others to see us in a positive way, to recognize our talents. How do we stop caring what others think? Or at the very least how do we care less?
Train It & Trust It

Catch a Drop
We have all been there, your on a run and you get dropped on your head. Of course it always seems to be on the run when your car picks up too, right? Is there anything that you can do to prevent it? Can you really 'catch the drop'?
