IT\u2019S a phrase out of any coaching handbook and one that has stuck with Jack Perkins<\/a> since then-teammate Todd Kelly highlighted it to him.<\/p>\n

Focus on the process, not the outcome.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s relevant now in the case of Will Brown<\/a>\u2019s qualifying woes, feels the Triple Eight star\u2019s former enduro co-driver.<\/p>\n

Since winning the 2024 championship, Brown has been openly critical of his own form, and starting back in the pack has been a common hurdle.<\/p>\n

Brown did enjoy a breakthrough pole position last time out at Albert Park \u2013 prior to that he had been outqualified 27 times in a row by teammate Broc Feeney<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u201cI remember working with Todd Kelly back in 2008 and one thing he said to me which has rang true now for the last however many years since then; he said processes and outcomes,\u201d Perkins observed on The Undercut.<\/p>\n

The Undercut \u2013 Breaking down the big 2026 issues!<\/p>\n

The Undercut is back for 2026, with Aaron Noonan once again joined by Jack Perkins and James Moffat, breaking down a massive start to the new motorsport season!<\/p>\n

\u201cIf you\u2019re driving around thinking of the outcome, you\u2019ll forget the process.<\/p>\n

\u201cSo if you\u2019re Will Brown and you\u2019re going \u2018I\u2019ve just got to qualify, I\u2019m getting smashed\u2019 you forget about the process: hit the first brake marker at Turn 1, maximise the grip through Turn 1, get on the throttle.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou\u2019ve got however many corners in the lap and you have got to execute the process to deliver you that outcome.<\/p>\n

\u201cPiling the pressure on yourself and saying you\u2019ve got to qualify well may not actually do anything to (help) your qualifying performance.<\/p>\n

\u201cSo, break it down, think of the process, execute that process.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn terms of Will Brown\u2019s position, you have got Broc Feeney, probably one of the best qualifiers in the game at the moment \u2013 what\u2019s he doing differently? Is there a consistent trend? How can we copy his process to deliver his outcome?<\/p>\n

\u201cThere\u2019s a lot to it and that\u2019s sometimes where the raw speed drivers, who I would say is Will Brown, when they have got to find that next percent it\u2019s hard because they\u2019re kind of covering them over on natural ability, and someone who\u2019s working a bit harder is getting a bit more out of it.<\/p>\n

\u201cThat\u2019s possibly where Will\u2019s at. I can\u2019t speak on behalf of Will, but that\u2019s just my experience and my observation.\u201d<\/p>\n

There will be another three qualifying sessions at this weekend\u2019s ITM Taup\u014d Super440.<\/p>\n
