You\u2019ve heard me talk\/write about triggers, I hope. A mental trigger to help you stay focused on what you want, and not on what you don\u2019t want, is the key. At least it is for me and the drivers I coach. But you have to do the work beforehand and build that trigger &#8211; program it &#8211; so it\u2019s something you just go to when your mind starts to wander and think about how much time is left in the race (or how tired you are!). For a variety of reasons, we can\u2019t figure out the trigger while driving &#8211; mostly because we\u2019re too busy. So that\u2019s why it\u2019s important to have that trigger ready before you get in the car. And having one that brings you back into the act of driving is critical. \u201cEyes up, look ahead.\u201d \u201cCar dancing.\u201d \u201cSmooth brake release.\u201d Those are some that I use.
