Danica Patrick
Indy driver on perseverance
Perseverance –
The resolve to continue despite difficulties or circumstances.
Danica Patrick has experienced the ups and downs of racing due to the variables of the people you race against and how the car performs. When asked how she trains herself to think positively she said, “one of the realities of being a professional race car driver is that things don’t always go the way you want them to”. “What’s important is to always take a positive out of those situations – whether it’s learning from your mistakes so you can react differently the next time, or if it’s just putting a bad result behind you and focusing on the next race.” In the midst of adversity and dissapointment Patrick always has a tenactiy to overcome and...persevere.
“How many a man has thrown up his hands at a time when a little more effort, a little more patience, would have achieved success?”
