And if so, have you been able to consistently repeat it while driving?\u00a0It\u2019s occurred a few times for me, with each time feeling as if all of my inputs are perfect. While doing so, it\u2019s as if I watch myself drive either from the passenger seat or floating above the car.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p><strong>A<\/strong>: The simple answer is \u201cyes, I have.\u201d The longer answer has to do with what \u201cout of body\u201d means, right? And, have I been able to consistently repeat it? Again, the simple answer is \u201cno,\u201d but I\u2019m way more consistent with getting there now than I was very early in my career. I\u2019d also say that no one, not even world champions get to that zone\/flow state every single time. Sure, the best get there more often than others, which is why they are world champions.<\/p>\n<p>A huge part of my coaching is all about this &#8211; the mental game, getting into the zone\/flow, or as I call it, Inner Speed Secrets. I\u2019ve spent decades studying the psychology of human performance, especially in motorsport, and I help drivers get into that state more often. Again, not every single time, but if I can help a driver get there 5% of the time, rather than 4% of the time, or 90% of the time rather than 89% of the time, that\u2019s progress. I also work with drivers who are working at getting into that state 95% of the time, rather than 94% of the time (I\u2019m making these percentage up to illustrate the point).<\/p>\n<p>How does one get into that zone\/flow, or \u201cout of body,\u201d state. Unfortunately, that\u2019s huge topic, and not one I can deal with properly here. But it\u2019s a core part of my Inner Speed Secrets 201 eCourse, my books, and even my Sim Racer Academy.<\/p>\n<p>Oh, I love that feeling when it\u2019s like you\u2019re watching yourself perform. It is like an \u201cout of body\u201d experience, where it\u2019s like you\u2019re seeing yourself perform, almost as if you\u2019re a spectator watching a peak performance. But it\u2019s you! And it\u2019s happening almost magically! Congrats on getting there and experiencing it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Q: \u201cHave you had an \u201cout of body\u201d experience while driving?
