Adapting discipline for recovery

The most decorated woman in motorsports history will tell you she feared losing far more than she loved winning, and that fear is exactly what drove her to the top. In this episode, I’m with racing legend Danica Patrick to unpack the psychology of elite performance, from the “blind faith” that carried her through two decades of racing to the nervous system conditioning she built starting at age 10. What would be possible for you if you learned to channel pressure instead of escaping it?
