Have you ever wondered what goes into being a Formula One Champion? Alex Casanovas has the insights. 

This week I sat down and interviewed Aleix Casanovas. Aleix is the incredible Performance Coach to George Russell,  driver for Formula 1 Team Mercedes.

Aleix grew up in a small town near Barcelona. He spent a lot of his time outdoors from a young age playing many sports.  During his late teens and early twenties, Aleix had the opportunity to travel and race Motorcycles at a very competitive level. 

Aleix was never the best student in school, and he never thought he would go on to study a Masters in Sports Sciences. His mother suggested that he go to University, and he reluctantly agreed to it. It only took a few months until he had fallen in love with his studies. 

Aleix went on to land a job with Hintsa. Hintsa is the world’s leading, evidence-based coaching company, helping top athletes and business professionals achieve sustainable success. He then started working with a young George Russell, who is now the lead driver for Team Mercedes.

This episode is full of amazing insights. Please share it with someone who you think might benefit from it!
