Now's the time to make your own LUCK!

At the races some people call certain drivers, "Lucky!" And of course we have all heard the saying, "I would rather be Lucky than Good!" Well, as a psychologist, I would much rather be good and figure the luck will come along eventually. If you are good, you can always be good. But if you just rely on Luck, well that will inevitably come and go. I also don't really believe that some people are Lucky or Unlucky, I simply believe some people are just smart, work hard, and probably having a few extra bucks to buy some good parts and do some maintenance! ;) So the winter months are the time to make your own luck! What you do now can make you lucky later when it actually matters--work hard in January and February so you can be lucky from March-October!

Doing some maintenance to the car is one thing that needs to be done. Those "lucky" drivers are in their shops working on their cars right now. This way their cars will be ready for the race seaon. These "lucky" racers are also probably working on their own mental game by doing some practice trees, thinking about their driving strategies, and maybe really taking some time to analyze their racing program.

By doing some things now, you will also have that feeling of being totally prepared and ready for the race. It is impossible to get in the flow and drive well when you are worrying about a technical, mechanical, or other problem.

If you are working hard now, maybe you will be Lucky next season, or maybe you will just be good...but either way you are preparing yourself now to win later!
GOOD LUCK!
