Mental Preparation for Competitive Racing

How do you mentally prepare yourself when you're competing in the big races on

a

national level?

Whenever I'm competing, I can focus since I'm not afraid of

losing,

but I also fear defeat since I desire results.

So your mood swings since those contrasting ideas

are each taking half of your

focus?

Incorrect. I benefit from a hundred percent of both.

And you think like that to avoid feeling nervous?

No, I think that way so I can enjoy being

nervous.

You don't have to cope with your anxiety.

This world is filled with possibilities of failure.

But the thing is, that's what gives life its charm.

Fear isn't unpleasant, and safety isn't always pleasant.

Anxiety is a feeling one gets when one challenges themselves.

So if one must sacrifice something for victory,

then give up your body because it's just a collection of cells. Glory is forever.
