It goes without saying that on a mass level, my most famous fitness client is NASCAR Champion racer Kasey Kahne. He is also a long time friend. I knew him before he became the wildly popular driver on the biggest stage in American racing.  I saw the work behind the rise. The part that most people don’t see. The results of the elite of any field are too often attributed to factors like luck, or a gifted person accomplishing something with ease. truly, luck exists and people are gifted, but the champions know exactly how to put these things to work for them. 

Bottom line: Kasey Kahne is a success because he prepared for it and continues to prepare. He puts in the hours and the effort toward a larger plan of being the best in his field. When he sees a weakness or an area that he knows needs to be better for him to be better, he makes a plan to improve it, and gets busy improving it. 

When he wants that little mental edge behind the wheel, he takes the best of what he knows will put him in the best frame of mind and studies it on race day behind the wheel just before competition.  This is the genesis of my Helmet Talks series.   He plans, he prepares and he takes action on those plans. 

The thing to remember is that he has never ever authored a perfect plan the first time through.  The plan is simply a way of organizing your thoughts, and it is meant to be amended when events prove it’s weakness. The end result can be achieved in multitudes of ways in basically any endeavor.  When Kasey takes on a challenge in the gym for the work that makes up my Racers Workout dvd and online training course, it is planning and preparation for a result.  There is no habit more vital to achieving big-time results.
