Being the personal fitness instructor for celebrity athletes like Kasey Kahne of NASCAR and Joey Saldana affords me access that many would only dream of. I am Russ Bohaty, and folks call me ”the Racers Trainer”. I can be found at RacersTrainer.com. There we go over the physical and mental secrets to fantastic achievement both on and off the track. So when it comes to off the track, people are always asking: What is he like? I don’t consider my answer to this question a matter of trivia. See it is what they are really like that matters on all areas and whether they are a success.
Maybe the better question is what do they all have in common that might lead to their unique and special results. Numerically speaking the odds are against anybody becoming a race car driver on the professional level. Yet these folks have done it and excel at the highest level among the best of the best. Why?
Frankly, it is a combination of a lot of things. Yet the common denominator is their ability to understand the law of cause and effect in the present moment and to implement that law on their behalf. Basically they understand that right now and wherever they want to go is all that matters. Mistakes or failures of the past are meaningless in the larger picture. Failures are only instructive. They take the lessons and go forward better. In the context of my training program for racers which I tailor to their individual needs, they only want small incremental improvement in the moment and then more the next session.
The incremental improvements add up to very special one-of-a-kind results. I would say that their willingness to take that approach to my racer’s workouts is just them doing what they have always done in other areas of their lives. There are no overnight successes and no one can reach the great heights forward without falling on their faces. We go over the mental aspect of race and life success until they are part of us in my Helmet Talks series.
