Today I speak with Patrick Harding, long-time performance coach for F1 driver Alex Albon. Patrick spends 31 weeks a year with Alex has been working with him for six years. Patrick looks after all aspects of Alex's physical and mental performance.

Look out for some similarities with tennis. There's lots of them!

In our chat, we cover ⬇️

• Controlling boundaries with the athlete
• Building trust and relationships
• Being focussed in intense moments
• Optimising performance conditions
• How fit F1 drivers really are

Hope you enjoy it!
