- Abbi explains how developing a strong mindset is just as important as working on your fitness or technical ability.
- The reset is everything. Whether you're recovering from a bad lap or a difficult boardroom meeting, the ability to accept what's happened and refocus on the next task is what separates good performers from great ones.
- Awareness comes first. You can't manage your state of mind if you don't recognise when you've lost it. Knowing your triggers is the foundation of everything else.
- Pressure is the same no matter what industry you're in. The same mental framework that helps a driver to make a split-second decision on the track applies to anyone facing a high-stakes decision.
