Initial Intake

Hey! I'm Joel's description to explain the initial meeting where we establish short and long term goals, stresses, fears, workload and habits. From there, we can target the root cause and more importantly, priority tactics to ensure drivers are ready to compete at their best.

Individual Sessions

Individual sessions are a fantastic way to individualize specific strategies, based on your identified needs and goals! Work done in individual sessions is seamless, consistent and complements any Race Weekend Packages. Many drivers find individual sessions extremely helpful in identifying their needs outside of the pressure and intensity of a race weekend. They allow drivers to identify and practice skills outside of race weekends, modify strategies as skills improve and plan for future race events.
