Creating a Winning Mindset
We pay a lot of money for our race tires, and we pay a lot of money to get a good engine. We buy brand new go-karts, and we still find ourselves finishing in the middle of the pack. We're now wondering to ourselves, "Well, we've got all the equipment, we are getting coaching, and we still can't move up the pack. What can it be?"
Well, a lot of it comes down to the mindset, how we are thinking, what we're stressing about, what we're confident in, and the drivers that we might be nervous when we're driving on the track with. Now, all these things, that inside noise, as a driver, you put your helmet on and it's only you now. You start your engine, and you are the one in control.
All that coaching most likely has gone out the door because when there's 20 other people in your race and they're trying to carve you up on the first couple of laps, it's very hard to try and remember what that coach was saying to you. You've got to do a lot of your homework before you get to the track. You want to have that positive, winning mindset as we like to call it before you put that helmet on.
