Finally Back at Watkins Glen!
This past weekend was the first IMSA race at Watkins Glen since 2019, and it felt great to be back! The fans were out in full force, and it was especially refreshing that although things were put on hold for the past year, it didn’t feel that way at Watkins Glen. To...
Drive the Car, Don’t Let it Drive You!
Longtime friend and client Rob Trollinger has recently been earning some enduro class wins, and it’s incredible to watch his progress. We had a fun conversation at VIR last week, in which I asked him what he attributed his recent success to. Rob answered that he has...
The Importance of Process for New Coaching Clients

Don’t Judge a Race Weekend by Results Alone
This past weekend I was at Road America for the first time this season to coach and drive in an endurance race. It felt great to be at that track again, even if it was a bit chilly in the mornings—and by “a bit,” I mean low 30s! But it was an exciting event with a...
What a Difference a Year Makes!
This past weekend was a wet and wild SRO World Challenge event at Circuit of the Americas. After the Mazda MX-5 Cup event in St. Pete, I hustled to Austin to help wrap up a test with the Forbush Performance team. We had a very productive test and felt great about our...
Staying Optimistic in the Face of Adversity
The two Idemitsu Mazda MX-5 Cup races at St. Petersburg this past weekend were real thrillers, but they also reminded me of a very important aspect of racing: you have to keep your head up and stay optimistic during a race even if things aren’t going your way, because...
