    Finding the Drivers the System Misses (opens the original)

    Excerpt · Positive tone

    Read excerpt

    Lando Norris recently announced two new initiatives around junior motorsport. LN4 Fusion is the more obvious one, a sporting pathway. LN4 Legacy may prove the more interesting. Its focus is not simply on getting a young driver into a car, but on the support around them once they are there.Junior motorsport tends to talk about opportunity in financial terms.

    Why Potential Does Not Always Become Performance (opens the original)

    Excerpt

    Read excerpt

    Most people who have spent time around coaching or development will recognise the four stages of competence. Unconscious incompetence is the point at which someone does not yet know what they do not know. Conscious incompetence follows when the gap becomes visible. Conscious competence is the stage where the skill can be performed, but only with deliberate attention.

    Excerpt · Positive tone

    Read excerpt

    In last weeks ‘Performance Begins Long Before It Becomes Visible’, I used the example of a siren approaching from behind while you are driving. Quite a few people resonated with this and asked whether I could explain more about why the same external reality can create such different internal responses.The simple answer is that we do not respond to reality directly.

    Performance Begins Long Before It Becomes Visible (opens the original)

    Excerpt · Neutral tone

    Read excerpt

Someone looks confident, hesitant, composed or under pressure.By then, most of the important work has already happened.Before any action, reality has already been noticed, filtered and given meaning.
