Readiness

The Drive Within

Readiness / Drive Within is where performance begins before movement.

Here, preparation is examined from two angles:

• Race-Specific Readiness focuses on the concrete: training blocks, terrain demands, gear tradeoffs, and event-level decisions.

  
  

• Mindset explores the internal architecture that sustains effort — discipline, restraint, and the ability to continue without external reward.

This is not about getting fired up.

It’s about being ready when it matters.
