When someone asks me for advice for their racing or for one of their kids my advice is always the same...

"My best advice to every racer is this:

Work on your balance--driving a race car at the limit requires balance.

Strength train--race cars are not like street cars they require strength to drive.

Work on your aerobic fitness--racing takes Extreme concentration, and when you become tired, the 1st thing that happens is brain fade.

Work on your hand eye coordination--shoot baskets, throw a tennis ball against a wall and catch it. Archery... ect.

Work on your concentration--look at a brick wall and gaze at every brick in a row from the bottom to the top, and back down.

And drive street cars--but make it hard. Don't use the whole lane, for example, use as little of it as possible. And work on what your Bad At.

And if you can find a sports psychologist that specializes in racers... its priceless.

I did all that and more. And I still do..."
