Mind Over Machine

“My biggest take away is overcoming the “noise” that’s in our head and blocks us from achieving a greater potential with riding. Motorcycles are amazing machines and unless you have the experience like Coach, it will be rare that you’ll ever ride them to their fullest potential!” - Isaias Contreras

“A great book on an important and overlooked part of improving your motorcycle riding. The author shares his personal mental evolution during his pro racing career, which I found very applicable to my own experiences even as a relative beginner. The book provided me with mental tools which I think will help me compartmentalize my anxieties and improve my focus on the things I can control in my riding. It’s written in a very concise, direct and to-the-point style - which I found very actionable. I’d recommend this to any beginner or anyone who has hit a plateau and wants to improve their riding skills.” - Ruben Mookerjee
