Under pressure
Pressure isn't the problem. Too much or too little is.
Performance rises with pressure up to a point, then collapses. The work is learning where your peak sits and building routines that keep you there on the grid, in qualifying and after a mistake.
What we work on
Practical psychology for race weekends.
- 01
Pressure and composure
Routines for qualifying, the grid and restarts that hold when it matters.
- 02
Focus and attention
Where to put your attention lap by lap, and how to get it back after a mistake.
- 03
Confidence
Built on evidence and preparation, not hype.
- 04
Setbacks
Crashes, DNFs and bad weekends: how to process them and move on quickly.
- 05
Parents and teams
The people around the driver shape the pressure. We work with them too.
- 06
Flourishing
Enjoying the sport is a performance factor. We treat it as one.
