Maximum Performance & Mental Sabotage

No one ever goes into any Motorsports event and says “today, I want to come in last” the essence of competition is that we’re all fighting to be the best! Training, conditioning, practice and even superstition all seem to go out the window when the green flag drops. Have you ever wondered why you can be “in the zone” and perform at your best on a practice day, but during the race nothing ever seems to come together? Maybe it was bad luck? or maybe… you mentally sabotaged yourself?

And with us to discuss why people “psych themselves out” and how to prevent it from happening is Dr. Jacques Dallaire, Ph.D, founder and president of Performance Prime, where he spends his time working with race teams of all disciplines to “develop the mindset of champions.”
