Jog Your Mind - Season 3 - Episode 1: Early Season Racing Success

This time of year, the energy on the start line is thick enough, you could cut it with a knife. When the energy of the moment hits it’s apex we engage our fight or flight response. Which means, we can throw our habits and good behaviors right out the window. This means staying in the moment and being present to what’s important to your success on race day.
