131 – Steve Olsen: NuCalm Yourself to Faster Driving

Author: Ross Bentley: Performance & Race Driver Coach July 4, 2019 Duration: 48:33

Dr. Steve Olsen joins me to talk about the Corvette Challenge Club, the importance of managing one's state of mind – particularly being calm – and the NuCalm system (www.nucalm.com).

Steve purchased a Corvette when he turned 50 (the first time that ever happened!), and has been tracking ever since. In fact, he has more open track day laps at High Plains Raceway in Denver than anyone else. Recently, he and a partner founded the Corvette Challenge Club, and as a dentist he worked with using NuCalm to help his patients – and found that it helps drivers perform better.

If you're interested in purchasing a NuCalm system, use Steve's discount code of "steve500."

Steve's Speed Secret: Learn to be calm. Respond, not react.
