Performing under pressure<\/p>\n
It just it makes you switch on. I feel like if you\u2019re riding out the front by yourself, you just start sort of day-dreaming a little bit. Yeah, I like it. It\u2019s a bit of pressure and it makes you focus on what you\u2019re doing again. And if you don\u2019t snap back to it, you can make a lot of mistakes in that point. You\u2019ve got to actually switch on to hit the lines good or maybe switch lines. And I was honestly in them last couple of laps, I was in pretty much cruise control because I thought I had a seven second gap or something. And then, yeah, it caught me off guard. But I was able to switch on and then do the last few laps with decent enough speed that I didn\u2019t actually get past.<\/p>\n
Keeping calm <\/p>\n
I\u2019ve just got like a different mindset going in this year. I know like, I think I just had too much pressure on myself last year, to be honest, and I know what I can do when I ride good. And my goal is to just ride my best. And like you said, you ride your best when you calm. And honestly, that\u2019s just the goal is to go out there, be calm and ride the best I can. And when I am riding the best I can, I know I\u2019m going to be a hard guy to beat. That\u2019s just the best opportunity to get wins, to be honest, is ride myself. So yeah, I\u2019ve done a lot of focus on that. Obviously when you land on the couch for four months, you do a lot of thinking. So yeah, I\u2019ve definitely changed a few things. I mean, just the mental\u2026 Probably the mental side of things for the two weeks, first two weeks when I first got injured was probably the biggest thing. Yeah, I was pretty upset for the first couple of days, but obviously that changes pretty quickly when you\u2019re laying on the couch and all you\u2019re really worried about is getting better. And then just your focus sort of shifts to rehab. Like I just spent four months grafting in the gym, just trying to do rehab and rehab and rehab just so I could be back to the level. You\u2019re either from laying on the couch to being in the gym with no one in there for two hours straight, just in pain, trying to graft and think of ways that you can be a little bit better. And if you had have been a little bit wiser when you were younger, it would be different. It seems to be the broken record that everyone says, but it seems to be true. But that\u2019s the thing I enjoy now is passing it on to the younger guys. And it\u2019s really nice to see the boys from our program performing at a good level in the 250 class as well.<\/p>\n
