Handling the car calmly and efficiently in difficult conditions with many competitors around you, intuitively and instinctively avoiding accidents ahead and focusing deeply and confidently.
These are the unmistakable signs of a driver's powerful mind.
Do you race brilliantly in practice but fade under the pressure of big auto racing events?
Being such a high-pressure and competitive sport that requires intense concentration and focus, mental training and hypnosis have emerged as effective tools for improving performance in this sport.
It helps you overcome any limitations, realize your full potential, and strengthen your confidence, belief, performance, anticipation, and results to new heights.
As most elite drivers have brilliant physical skills, it's often mental strength which separates them at major racing events.
Whether it's track, drag racing, motocross, or any other motor sport – mental conditioning gives you that vital edge you are looking for over your main competitors.
Mental training brings out your highest levels of driving technique, skill, strategies, tactics...
And intuition – a kind of inner sixth sense for sensing, reacting to, and successfully avoiding crashes ahead of you (often called 'luck') – plus finding traction in crisis situations when other drivers cannot.
It even helps you to absorb even more advanced driving skills far more quickly.
This adds a whole new dimension to your driving performances – a kind of “secret weapon” your competitors do not have. Most racing car drivers never explore this, giving a massive edge to those who use it.
Advantages / Uses
* Maintaining focus and concentration on the track, especially with a large number of cars around.
* Overcoming nerves, doubt, lack of belief about other drivers, your ability, the track, etc.
* Anticipating or avoiding crashes in advance.
* Driving too safely or aggressively.
* Handling problems with traction or controlling the car under pressure or in difficult conditions.
* Experiencing unusually bad or better 'luck' during races – e.g., avoiding crashes.
* and many others.
By training your mind, you are able to perform to your fullest potential, overcoming nerves, focusing with deeper concentration for longer periods, and increasing your levels of intensity and mastery of advanced driving skills.
The best way to do this (on your own without any guidance) is to regularly relax your mind for several minutes – before mentally imagining yourself in the driver’s seat at your next upcoming event.
Mind mastery is no different to mastering physical skills – you have to work out at the inner gym.
Developing unbreakable belief, focus under pressure, and the ability to pre-program performance in advance… the rewards are endless.
And today, I'll show you some powerful techniques which you can do from home. I will outline both traditional methods, as well as the latest fast-track techniques used by elite competitors, for accessing peak performance and overcoming barriers.
Then you use all your senses – to mentally rehearse bringing out your greatest skills, particularly at the times you will need them – visualize the start, the turns, avoiding crashes, accelerating away, the finish, etc.
Driving within your imagination actually lights up all the same areas of the brain which activate when you are driving in a real race.
So you are actually logging some driving time in your mind.
It’s a bit like virtual reality, but you create it yourself.
Once you become accomplished at visualizing (and I provide a wide range of different types of imagery you can work through, further below), this adds a whole new dimension to your performances.
Regular mental training techniques such as these can also bring about the Zone The Zone is the peak performance state where your body runs directly from the subconscious Your subconscious is the powerhouse of peak performance, controlling all bodily movement, storing your training experience and muscle memory, and guiding your body with effortless efficiency and precision. Estimated to be 275,000 times more powerful than the conscious mind [University of Pennsylvania] . Movements flow naturally, distractions fade, and effort feels effortless as you perform at your absolute best. , the mental state which produces the absolute peak sharpness in your motor skills and capabilities – though you may need to consult a sports psychologist or training audio such as our hypnosis program to further develop these skills.

For generations, athletes have relied on powerful techniques like visualization to gain a competitive edge. Now, with advancements in modern technology, these techniques have become even more sophisticated
I will outline some examples for you shortly, which you can practice at home (as effective do-it-yourself programs are what most people are asking for).
I have outlined the various options below to cater to different levels, so you can choose the best path you'd like to explore..
Training Options - For Different Standards, Levels & Skill Sets
Depending upon your level of experience and expertise, there are two distinct approaches to mental preparation:
1. Accelerated Techniques (audio MP3 subconscious training for faster results) or
2. Manual Methods (free self-guided options listed below).

Accelerated Techniques
Intermediate & Advanced Competitors
Designed to achieve results in as little as 4–6 weeks that might otherwise take up to 12 months with traditional training.
If you prefer to skip the long hard manual work of mental training (which I also outline further below), then the easiest step to accelerate your progress is to get the fast-track audio program below – developed from decades of coaching elite athletes, combining neuroscience with hypnotic techniques. Just $29.
These audios embed everything straight into your subconscious, so no manual repetition is needed.

(see below).
For those who can dedicate time to regular to regular practice and reinforcement, I have provided a selection of options and info below you can work through, and explore further.

1. Embedding Positive Core Beliefs
This exercise, called a contemplation, embeds powerful new core beliefs within your subconscious, as these enormously influence performance.
Your beliefs - weak or strong - ultimately determine your results - your susceptibiity to unconscious self sabotage, and how far your potential can develop. They are the dominating force - more powerful than motivation, talent, ability, fitness, power, etc.
These are your 5 Core Beliefs list to instill, below. Focus on each point in the list for 30 seconds daily, thinking of positive thoughts related to the topic and reasons why it's true for you.
Do this until the reasons are true for you.
1. I possess the courage and belief to handle high speeds, make split-second decisions, and master challenging race conditions.
2. My driving techniques, expertise and mastery of my vehicle make me a formidable opponent on the track.
3. I adapt and adjust eqasily to track conditions, weather, and competition situations.
4. I always know when to when to show restraint and minimize mistakes, and when to push the limits and maximize my success.
5. I drive with resilience, handling competition pressures, and taking my opportunities when they arise.

2. Visualization Exercises
Needless to say, the initial and primary visualization should be of yourself competing at your absolute peak of your performance - with as much, or as little, detail as you wish - while imagining experiencing great confidence and inner power while you are performing - along with the joy of success afterwards.
Do this each day, while in a relaxed state (directly before or after sleep are excellent times), and ensuring you use all your senses - ie. ensure the images are vivid, realistic, present-tense, positive, and without any external distractions.
If, like most others, you find your motivation to manually do these exercises eventually peters out altogether - just make sure you do this one exercise.
While the results wont be as quick as using the audio recordings, slowly but surely this will bring about improvements, so be patient. As you progress in your development, consider integrating the following aspects to enhance your mind's capacity to visualize flawless performance.
As there are literally hundreds of different ways you can use imagery for various different purposes, I have included some options you can experiment with later on.
But for now, keep to the basics, and make sure you practice regularly.
Imagine yourself in any of these scenarios....
- behind the wheel of a powerful machine - in control of a powerful vehicle that can accelerate, brake, and corner like no other. Feel the rush of adrenaline as you push the limits of what's possible on the road.
- a master of precision - who is incredibly precise and accurate in your movements, expertly navigating tight turns and hairpin corners with ease and grace.
- a skilled strategist - who can anticipate the moves of your opponents and make split-second decisions that put you ahead of the pack - calmly analyzing the situation and coming up with a winning plan.
- a fearless competitor - who isn't afraid to take risks and go all-out in pursuit of victory, pushing the limits of what's possible, and not letting anything stand in your way.
- as a master of the track - who knows every inch of the track like the back of your hand - expertly navigating each turn and straightaway, and making split-second decisions that put you in the lead.
- a confident driver - as a self-assured driver who knows that they have the skills and ability to win - calmly taking the lead and holding it, no matter what.
3. Affirmations for Performance
You can also manually recite a mantra over and over again silently in your mind, which is a manual auditory method which can be targeted towards specific uses - plus work great to drown out nagging negative thoughts during performance.
Note: Ensure you use a great deal more repetition to create the necessary reinforcement, seeing these will be recited at the conscious, rather than subconscious, level. A manual way to get around this can be reciting mantras in the shower, which relaxes the mind and body.
Some examples below.. ensure the statements are positive, present-tense, and with no hidden or reverse negatives.
"I am capable of achieving greatness" - By believing in yourself and your abilities, you can push yourself to reach new levels of success in your career.
"I am always improving" - Recognizing that there is always room for growth and development in your skills and techniques can motivate you to consistently strive to become a better racer.
"I am focused on my goals" - Keeping your mind focused on your end goals can help you stay on track and dedicated to your career.
"I am in control of my emotions" - Learning to manage your emotions and maintain a calm mindset during high-pressure situations can help you make better decisions and perform at your best.
