Being able to channel our mindset when under pressure helps shift from fear to focus. We are joined by championship go-kart driver Chris Thomas, who as one of the world’s fastest drivers in his class, knows the power that mind over matter has to survive and win at breakneck speeds in the tightest of corners. In the third of our Mind Over Matter mini-series he shares his tips for achieving clarity and focus at breakneck speeds in order to win. Describing himself as not a naturally confident person, he shares his tips for getting into the ‘flow’ state of mind when the pressure could overwhelm. His strategies for calmness, self belief and preparation are useful for anyone when the pressure is on. A real inspiration for anyone knowing they need to drive forwards to success in a busy noisy environment. 

As Chris says ‘Calmness enables fine margins and performance, that gives you the edge over others ‘

(Ryan Holliday’s book Stillness Is Key is a great read for anyone wanting to perform with poise and focus under pressure, mixing philosophy with neuroscience) https://amzn.eu/d/2qHskwI
