What were the differences?Finally, think about who may be able to help you and who you can share this information with.Chapters:00:00-Nikita Ducarroz10:23-Theme13:19-ExerciseFor more, check out www.redbull.com/mindsetwinGet in touch with us @katecourtney, @nikita.ducarroz

“We’re there to compete, we’re there to succeed. The best way to achieve that is by being measured, by being controlled, by following our processes.” Within a fast-paced, high-pressure environment, it’s crucial to enter a state of complete concentration.

In this episode of Mind Set Win, Christian gives an insight into his personal pre-performance routine as a tool to help improve his focus when he needs it. Following this, host Kate Courtney dives deeper into what makes a pre-performance routine so effective and shows three approaches to developing your own routine.The exercise will help you flesh out pre-performance habits on three levels: physical, mental and verbal, as a way of signaling to your brain that it’s go-time. Recap the exercise below:Decide on a cue that will prompt your brain that it’s time to begin your routine. This cue can be anything, from verbal to visual triggers – what matters is that it works for you.Now beginning your routine, a physical pre-performance routine can involve triggers like stomping your feet or snapping your fingers.Incorporating visualisation into your mental routing is an effective way to never lose sight of your goals.Finally, a verbal routine consists of saying things like “you got this” or reciting a poem or song lyrics.Chapters:00:00-Christian Horner08:00-Theme11:08-ExerciseFor more, check out www.redbull.com/mindsetwinGet in touch with us @katecourtney, @christianhorner
