In part 2 of this 3 part mini series on Gameplanning, I want to talk about situational awareness. When racers think of gameplanning, we have a tendency to think about it in reference to an opponent. I'd argue that 95% of a successful gameplan is focused on what is happening in your own lane. 

In ThisIsBracketRacing ELITE and ThisIsBracketRacing Jr., we focus on three distinct and simple finish line ideas. We call them the fundamental WINNING finish line strategies. In part 1 of this 3 part Gameplanning mini series, let's dive into those three winning finish line strategies. 

The single biggest attribute in my racing today is my ability to hit the tree. A lot of the questions I get are centered around how can you advance that in your racing? How can you make hitting the tree your biggest attribute?

This week's episode is something I wanted to share from a podcast that I listen to that is centered around the Summer Olympics. And on that episode Summer Sanders, Olympic Gold Medalist, talks about 3 key questions that helped her perform at her best. Why are you competing? Who are you doing it for? Who loves you?  I am sharing this because those 3 simple questions are gold.  

This episode is going to look a little more like the Question of the Week feature than the Daily Driver. A few months back on the Competitive Sociopath episode, I talked about the correlation between of being hyper focused and success. This week is expanding on that correlation into the competitive sociopath line of thinking in regard to families and couples. 

“Plans are useless, but planning is everything.” - Dwight Eisenhower. As most of you know or have probably figured out by now, I am big on planning. Especially when it comes to racing. But what happens when we can't plan for everything. How can we be prepared?

This week's episode is part 2 of The Psychology of Bottom Bulb Racing. In part 1 I started to talk about the takeaways I had from a discussion within ThisIsBracketRacing ELITE and those takeaways were being fearless, having a conservative strategy, cocky swing, and to be like water. This week I want to dive even deeper and look out even more takeaways from that discussion. 

Much like everyone else, I didn't know how to react to hearing about Scotty Richardson passing. I just turned on the microphone and started recording. But what do you say when Superman dies? 

This episode is exclusively for you bottom bulb racers and honestly if this sounds similar, it's because my most recent National Dragster column was on this same topic too. But here within the Daily Driver, I want to expand on it more. I want to dive deeper into the psychology of bottom bulb racing, not just the tangible things but the mental side of things. 

In a world of so much information; so many things that we could (or society tells us we should!) care about, we simply have to choose what is important to us, and… equally importantly: what is not.
