Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
In this episode of the Kart Class Podcast, 18-time Australian Champion David Sera explains how parents can build mental toughness and racing confidence in junior karting drivers.
Talent and speed matter, but a young driver’s mindset often determines whether they crumble under pressure or rise to the occasion. And parents play a far bigger role than most realise.
Learn how your behaviour at the track, the feedback you give after races, and the expectations you set at home directly influence your child’s confidence, resilience, and ability to perform when it counts. David shares practical strategies used by top-level drivers to handle mistakes, pressure, nerves, and setbacks — plus the common parent habits that unknowingly hold kids back.
If you want to help your driver stay calm on the grid, bounce back from bad results, and build the mindset of a future champion, this episode is essential listening.
Perfect for parents of Cadet, Junior, and developing drivers who want to support their child the right way — without needing prior racing experience.
🎧 Listen now to help your driver race smarter, handle pressure better, and build the mental edge needed to win.
