A Champions Mindset | Me vs Me

It’s a perfect time to talk mindset—the true character of a champion.
We get so caught up in outcomes—finish times, podiums, rankings.
But the truth?

What defines you isn’t the result. It’s the frame.
How you talk to yourself before the race or training session.
How you respond after.
That’s where the real win lives.

Someone else’s success doesn’t mean your failure.
There’s only one person you’re racing: the you from yesterday.
If you think not being #1 means losing—you’ve already capped your growth.

Champions don’t think like that.
They don’t shrink from the fight.
They shift. They level up. They evolve.

So whether you’re toeing the line this weekend or grinding in the dark:
Get your mind right. Get ready for big gains.

Because this game? It’s Me vs. Me.

Yesterday was good. Today? I'm better.

There’s only one person I’m chasing.
Not the name next to mine on the leaderboard.
Not the athlete who passes me on the hill.
Not the person watching from the sidelines.

It’s me.

The me from last year. Last month. I compare ‘Thursday Me To Thursday Me'.’
That version of me? That’s who I came to better.

I Don’t Train to Be the Best.

I Train to Be Better.

Some people train to outrun the person next to them.
I train to silence the voice that says I can’t.
I don’t care who’s watching. I don’t care who’s faster.
This is personal.

Because growth isn’t loud. It’s not always posted or praised.
It’s a quiet war between where I was—and where I refuse to stay.

That’s the Mindset.

That’s the Mission.

This isn’t about proving anything to anyone else.
It’s about showing up—again—and reminding myself who I am.

It’s about setting a pace no one else sees.
Pushing through when nobody’s clapping.
Giving Five when you just don’t want to.
Because that’s where the real progress lives.

AP RACING KNOWS HOW TO PREPARE YOU FOR THAT FIGHT.

Our coaching staff and team has lived the highs, battled the lows, and trained through both.
We have stood on podiums, sure. But more importantly—we have showed up to answer the question when it’s you vs you- “Can I be better today… can I show up”.

That’s the energy behind Andy Potts Racing.
You’re not signing up to compete with others.
You’re committing to the relentless pursuit of your own potential.

Better mechanics. Smarter strategy. Faster recovery.
Every detail dialed in—because that’s how you win the internal war.

The Standard Is Simple:

Raise the Standard. Be The Standard- Be Better Than Yesterday?

That’s it.
That’s the benchmark.

We don’t care about your neighbor’s pace or your friend's finish time.
We care about your next breakthrough. Your next level.
Your own damn standard.

So Ask Yourself:

  • Did I leave something on the table?

  • Did I make excuses—or make progress?

  • Did I back off—or level up?

It’s not about being the best out there.
It’s about being better in here-
Heart. Head. Effort.

Ready to Chase the Only Rival That Matters?

Join Andy Potts and a team of athletes who train for one reason:
To beat who they were yesterday.
To show up with purpose.
To live in pursuit of their own edge.

No egos. No comparison. No limits.

You vs. You.
Let’s go.
