Speed - Sporting Mind Mastery

F1 & motorsports

That burning desire I have always had to be better in every aspect and resist any force that pushes against you seems to be diminishing…and I don’t know how to reclaim it
Cannot get and/or stay “in the zone” or “in the flow”
Costly mental distractions during a qualification or a race
Phenomenal driving skills however an insufficient capacity to powerfully handle criticism, loss or defeat holds me back from consistent victory
Remaining laser focused and dynamically calm in the heat of battle has become difficult
The stress of holding first position is consuming me

I seem to have lost some of my mindset for domination and the resilience I had to battle mountains of criticism and pressure.
Struggling to regain confidence after an accident, a crushing defeat or a disqualification
I often struggle to deal with success and failure with a level head
“I can’t seem to shake off the disappointment of having not won the last few races…”
I fell into a slump after a big success and cannot seem to get out of it.
I feel high levels of anxiety when it comes to contract time and that feeling never really vanishes as I feel somewhat at the mercy of team managers’ and manufacturers’ choices and decisions

Inconsistent superior performance
I no longer trust that I can, under pressure, summon up whatever is necessary to succeed, to perform well, and perhaps change the outcome of the race
Reaction time slowing down costing best position
Struggling to adapt to the ever changing team demands, technical advances, travel schedules, etc
I am struggling to visualise effectively before races and I know I am missing opportunities
I am finding it hard to set new meaningful goals, I feel I am at an impasse
Poor recovery is starting to result in stress, exhaustion, burnout and reduced performance
Struggling to generate sufficient mental energy, agility and creativity

I am finding it somewhat difficult to push myself to the limits of my ability and go beyond
I am getting stuck in my comfort zone which is now creating a loss of intensity, focus and energy
Not learning fast enough from mistakes as the stakes get higher
Ineffective nutrition programme, struggle to maintain the lightest frame to meet the minimum weight limit
My driving is going well and I wish to accelerate my journey to ultimate victory

I am getting worried about not having a compelling plan for after racing
I am often concerned about being out-manoeuvred in dealings, negotiations and contracting with either coaches, managers, directors, agents or sponsors

“If you have everything under control, you are not moving fast enough”

Cannot seem to clear unwanted random thoughts from my mind during the race
I am struggling with my mindset; I just don’t feel like I’m going to be right up there
I find it hard to learn how to tap into that final 10% of knowledge, care, interest and motivation that are required to get to the top.
I no longer trust that I can, under pressure, summon up whatever is necessary to succeed, to perform well, and perhaps change the outcome of the race
There are highs and massive lows and when the race is over and I come down, depression comes near. I am increasingly questioning ‘is it worth it?’ And I do not like that feeling

I too easily slip out of the zone when the pressure is on
I feel high levels of anxiety when it comes to contract time and that feeling never really vanishes as I feel somewhat at the mercy of team managers’ and manufacturers’ choices and decisions
Self doubt creeps in when the stakes get really high and sometimes I choke without focus costing me seconds and possibly even the race
It sometimes takes days or even weeks to let go of that personal sense of failure when despite all the effort that has gone into it and all the money spent, it did not go well. Sometimes I get close to depression
I fell into a slump after a big success and cannot seem to get out of it
I am struggling to get my rhythm and full confidence back after a recent major spill
I always feel like everyone is watching me like I am failing. It feels bad

I seem to be perpetually stuck at second place
I am not learning from my mistakes fast enough
Reaction time slowing down costing best position
Struggling to adapt to the ever changing team demands, technical advances, travel schedules, etc
I am struggling to visualise effectively before races and I know I am missing opportunities
I am finding it hard to set new meaningful goals, I feel I am at an impasse
Poor recovery is starting to result in stress, exhaustion, burnout and reduced performance
Struggling to have or recover sufficient mental energy, agility or creativity

I am finding it increasingly difficult to push myself to the limits of my ability and beyond
I seem to never quite surround myself with the right people, the kinds of teammates who could lead me to my goals and do not know how to resolve this. I know I cannot do it alone
I am getting stuck in my comfort zone which is gradually creating a loss of intensity, focus and energy
My racing is good and I wish to accelerate my journey to joining the league of champions

I sometimes worry that after Moto GP I will just exist in this world and no longer have an impact…
