What is the main topic discussed in this episode?
Racing is a competition. It doesn't always work and it can't work all the time.
What early experiences shaped Danica Patrick's understanding of pressure?
I learned so many of them so young. I'm glad I didn't learn what it was like to learn how to deal with pressure in my 30s. I learned it when I was 10.
How does Danica manage wins and losses in her career?
Right now we hear a lot about burnout. Even the most mentally tough people, when you put a health problem in the mix, it's so difficult. I'm trying harder than ever. And you can't see it. Like I'm trying harder than ever. That part of my personality is so important to me. The results are the evidence. Fear is automatic. There is an automaticity to fear, fight or flight. But that regulation is something trained. The body knows how to heal. You have to just give it the right environment.
What rituals does Danica have for performance preparation?
And I was like, So you have to practice patience and rest. The reality is in order for people to really embody and get to the position that they want to get to, physically, it requires work.
How does identity affect performance in high-pressure situations?
There is no magic. Now, the one thing I'd say about that, and this is something that I recommend to people too, is that... Danica Patrick. You are one of the most accomplished and recognizable figures in race car driving. You have broken barriers beyond and just pioneered for women a path that never existed. So you're the first, the first through the gate. You've competed for over 10 years at the highest level.
What advice does Danica give for recovery and discipline?
You've grown up in the public eye and really under pressure. The only way that people do that and do it well is if they reinterpret the idea of pressure and stress. Now, you've been at the highest level of both IndyCar and NASCAR, and again, you've built this career defined by pressure. Through a passion, right? I mean, you can relate to that, right? something that you feel a calling to or really passionate about and like so much drive for that like everything is just the way it's not, an obstacle it's kind of like just the way like it's you know it's not going to be easy but you love it so much you keep doing it that's why I always tell people like you have to find something that you love because if you don't love it enough you're not going to put in the right amount of effort to be successful and you're going to eventually quit and that's the biggest difference between someone that's really successful and that isn't is that they just don't quit and you've probably learned that a million times not only from yourself but also from people that you've interviewed too as I have as well is that
Like, you know, having that vision and holding it and having what I would call when I was young and in go-karting and coming up through motorsports was blind faith, unless you kind of just know it.
What are the challenges faced by women in male-dominated industries?
Like, you know it's gonna happen somewhere deep inside you. You don't really know how or how it's gonna look, but you just know. And so, yeah, I had that my whole life. And I've watched videos of you very young. I mean, you were very young. going through this racing. And I think about my kids, my four and six year old, I couldn't even imagine them being able to cognitively understand the idea of pressure and challenge.
How does Danica perceive the impact of burnout on performance?
But do you feel like you had to talk yourself into it? Yeah, I don't think you do know. That is something that you learn. I think when you're a kid, you just feel something uncomfortable right you don't really know what that stuff is you have to learn all those emotions just like you have to learn discipline and learn discretion and what's appropriate and when all these things are all just stuff that you learn and I think that I learned so many of them so young right like my dad was pretty hard on me and obviously racing is a competition so it's a it's a you know it's competitive it's who b2 it's pretty it's pretty obvious so all of those things I learned really young and I'm glad man I'm glad I didn't learn what it was like to learn how to deal with pressure in my 30s I learned it when I was 10.
I'm not sure we learn well in our 30s. I agree. I agree. I mean, like neuroplasticity and like subconscious programming is real set, real set, kind of like concrete. Right now they give participation trophies.
