Jake Aliker on creating a Formula 1 Performance Mindset

With over a decade of experience coaching in elite level sport, Jake is passionate about helping people reach their highest potential. Moving from a strength and conditioning coach for a professional rugby team to the Formula 1 paddock was always going to be a steep learning curve. Taking on the role as the personal performance coach for Max Verstappen as he started his career at Red Bull Racing was a challenge that he grabbed with both hands. Whilst max had spent his life around race tracks and the Formula 1 paddock, this was a new environment for Jake. He also realised that the role was a lot more than just helping Max to be the fittest man in the race. For Jake Aliker, this was about creating a Formula 1  performance mindset. 

In this conversation with Jake you will hear about his own development as Max's former performance coach. He will share the relationships that he developed with team, how to cut through the noise and focus on his role in helping Max go faster. He shares how we all have 'anxiety' but how an F1 Driver will often use this as a signal to push harder. 

Jake is now heading up performance for the Porsche Supercup team GP Elite and shares his insights on how he sets this up for success. Having set up his own coaching company Force and Grace, Jake also discusses how the lessons he has learned in elite sports and racing, can benefit businesses by creating a Formula 1 performance mindset.
