  • The Power of Rituals and Routines in Racing
    Jun 29 2026

    Welcome to INNER RACING, where we dive into the mental side of motorsport. In this episode, the conversation focused on the powerful role of rituals and routines—both in daily life and on the racing circuit. One concept discussed was how rituals, from holiday traditions to morning habits, provide structure, certainty, and reassurance in an unpredictable world. The discussion explored the way rituals shape a racer's preparation, helping to combat decision fatigue and anchor their mental state before hitting the track. A key theme that emerged was the importance of recognizing and utilizing meaningful rituals as part of performance, not just as superstitions, but as tools for creating routine, reducing anxiety, and enhancing readiness. Join us as we unpack how these rituals can make all the difference, both inside and outside the racing arena.

  • Forget the Noise...Why Reducing Mental Noise Is Only Half the Battle
    Apr 2 2026

    Welcome back to INNER RACING, where we dive deep into mastering the mental game behind peak performance. In today's episode, "Forget The Noise...", Greg takes us beyond the usual talk about controlling distractions and calming the mind. While noise management is crucial—making up about 60% of our mental prep—there's another side to our process that often gets overlooked: the additive or generative change.

    Greg challenges us to not just focus on silencing doubts and distractions but also to actively create the optimal mental state for top performance. From harnessing visualization techniques to state setting and ego management, this 40% is all about making sure the best version of you shows up on race day. So, don’t just get out of your own way—get ready to become an even better racer, both on and off the track. Let’s explore how balancing noise reduction with generative strategies can unlock your true potential.
