The Racer Mindset — DIRTASTIC

Written by Dirtastic Coach Reagan Potts

Image this: You’re on the beginning line. There are twenty very proficient riders subsequent to you, however you’re assured that you just’ve bought this within the bag. For some meaning profitable the race, for others it means simply ending it. Both means, the arrogance to perform a purpose is current right here. That is racer mindset. 

Firstly, what even is a racer mindset? Whereas all racers are totally different, all of them have one factor in widespread, and that’s the skill to set their minds to a purpose and do their finest to perform it. Nevertheless, the factor most individuals don’t see right here is the resilience, lengthy days, coaching, and intense aggressive spirit driving the willpower to do these objectives. Racing will not be simple. It requires ability, a resilient angle within the face of loss or defeat, and the aggressive will to finish the race to the very best of 1’s skill.

However don’t confuse this with the concept you need to be “quick” to race. Quick is only a phrase and I extremely suggest anybody who desires to race to strive it (P.S. you may be hooked afterwards). Racing is for everybody, and the racer mindset might be seen in everybody. From the very best ladies racers on this planet like Louise Forsley or Becca Sheets to the little woman who has her first race this weekend, everybody has a racer mindset.
