The Motorsport Coaching podcast raises the bat for our 100th episode with Enzo Mucci - a London-based Driver Performance Coach who joins Belinda Riseley and Matt Payne for this landmark moment. Enzo works with Kiwi Formula 2 racer, Liam Lawson and FE star Sam Bird. He was involved with Esteban Ocon through his relationship with the Mercedes-Benz junior program. Fittingly, this episode was recorded less than 24 hours after Ocon’s maiden Grand Prix victory in Hungary! The Race Driver Coach has counted Petronas, Renault, Lotus F1 Team and many more as clients in addition to BMW and Mercedes. As he explains in the podcast, Enzo’s point of difference is taking a holistic approach to the driver both on and off the track. As a prolific YouTuber and user of social media (along with being an author and podcaster), we speak about the benefits of social media - especially at the grassroots level. One of Enzo’s mottos is shout as loud as you can! We also spend time covering what is required to ‘make it’ as a motorsport star and how important the ‘off track’ driver is to the complete package. This is a great insight into the tools you need to develop to achieve success in the sport. We could have spent hours with Enzo! Make sure you reach out to him to let him know you enjoyed it and check out his international coaching packages. You can find Enzo and all of his platforms (along with some free resources!) at: www.theracedrivercoach.com Episode 100 of the Motorsport Coaching Podcast is powered by Motiv8 Training. You can find all you need to know about our offerings at www.motiv8training.com.au and join our Sponsorship Facebook page at ​​http://bit.ly/Motiv8Sp.

This week on the Motorsport Coaching podcast we catch up with one of the most recognized voices of Australian motorsport, Matt Naulty. You'll hear Matt's voice in Supercars, Speedway, Stadium Super Trucks, Drag Racing, and everything in between. Matt Payne and Naulty have been great mates for many years and this week's podcast is a recorded (thankfully condensed!) version of regular phone calls! Although Matt is a commentator, many of his learnings can translate to anyone looking to make a career out of motorsport whether behind the wheel or in a support role off track: Background in Motorsport from the Adelaide Grand Prix days From starting working as a crew member to the commentary box Never Give Up Attitude and chasing the goal Adapting between motorsport disciplines The American dream - we talk about Scott McLaughlin and the Indy 500 (this was recorded just days before qualifying for the 105th Indy 500) - and Matt's whirlwind trips from one side of the world to the other and back to record Stadium Super Trucks Harnessing ambition and work that happens away from the track This is a pretty lighthearted episode of the Motorsport Coaching podcast, but there are some solid messages contained within. Enjoy!
