How do you prepare for the mental challenges of competitive racing

Sure! Here are four different ways to answer that question:

"Honestly, I just try to keep a positive mindset. I do a lot of visualization before races, like picturing myself crossing the finish line and feeling that rush. It helps me stay focused and calm when the pressure's on."

"I like to mix in some meditation and deep breathing exercises. It really helps clear my head and keeps the nerves at bay. Plus, I listen to music that pumps me up right before the race to get in the zone."

"I usually talk to my coach and teammates about any worries I have. Sharing those thoughts really lightens the load. And I try to remind myself that it’s all about having fun and pushing my limits, not just winning."
