StitcherWorld Rally Champion Co-driver, FIA Commission President and Performance Coach Robert Reid shares some fascinating insights and advice for anyone wanting to maximise their performance.
As well as being a World Rally Champion, Robert Reid is passionate about nurturing talent across all levels of motorsport. He’s a mentor to several World Rally Championship competitors and a founder of the British Motorsport UK Rally Elite and Academy programmes. He is also an FIA Commission President and has just been announced as the Candidate for Deputy President of Motorsport as part of Mohammed ben Sulayem’s Team for the 2021 FIA Presidential Election.
I first met Robert in the late 90s and we developed a friendship which led to him and his driver, the late Richard Burns mentoring me. That was a massive help in my motorsport career, which I’m very grateful for.
In this show Robert shares a huge amount of knowledge, gained both during and after competing at the highest level of motorsport, including several performance and psychological models he has used and taught. We got very deep into some of the theories and learning, ultimately finishing with a list of action points for anyone interested in maximising their performance. I think it’s a cracking show, I hope you do too…
If you find any benefit from the show, perhaps others might too, so please share it and spread a little positivity.
In addition to the podcast, check out The Stage by Stage Show on YouTube (https://bit.ly/SbSYouTube) for some entertaining chat shows with some rallying legends.
Enjoy the show.
Some action points that you may find useful: –
Thanks to Robert for all his insights and advice which I hope you found useful. Here are some things you can try: –
- Shake more hands, get more business cards, your network might be good or even fantastic, but it can always be better.
- Get your name out there, make sure people know who you are
- You need to be able to make conversation at a high level (think company board level). In order to do that, be genuinely interested in the other person and do your research beforehand if possible
- Work out who you are as soon as possible, because the more you progress, the more it will be amplified
- Be authentic and genuine
- Be careful that being driven doesn’t come across as aggression
- If you think something is outside your control, double check by asking “Is there anything at all, that I could possibly have done, that might have had even the faintest effect on that outcome?”
- Avoid saying “I hope to…” or “I will try to…” – just do it instead.
- Look closely at every opportunity and aim to get benefits from every situation
