Elite Driver Coaching & Racing by Kokoro Performance Management

Elite Driver Pathway

The KOKORO Elite Driver Pathway is a full-spectrum development system designed to cultivate world-class racing drivers. The pathway connects five key pillars into a single, progressive model that supports athletes from karting to pro-level competition.

Once inside the program, drivers develop the ability to self-correct, think professionally and independently, and perform under pressure. As a result, drivers become more coachable, more self-reliant, and more valuable to teams.

Career Management

Strategic oversight for the long game.

Kokoro provides end-to-end career management for drivers serious about longevity. We help athletes navigate contracts, team decisions, and progression routes with the clarity. The most obvious path is not necessarily the right one, so we work holistically to ensure the most effective path for your development.

We don’t just plan the next move—we shape you career trajectory. Every step is filtered through your performance goals, personal development, and long-term viability in the sport.

What we cover:

Contract and team negotiations

Long-term career roadmap

Stakeholder communication

Crisis handling and reputation management

Performance Coaching

The habits and behaviours behind consistency.

Driver Development & Racing Coaching by Kokoro Performance Management

Talent gets you noticed. Execution keeps you in the game. Our on-track and off- track performance coaching helps drivers build the psychological and behavioural foundations to perform under pressure—over and over again. We deliver practical systems built to sharpen how you train, think, recover, and compete.

That’s why this pathway works. It doesn’t just create results, it creates drivers who can repeat fundamental techniques, stop chasing validation and instead focus on start mastering execution.

What we cover:

Execution over outcome mindset

Pre and post-race performance KPI’s and reports

Personal accountability frameworks

Tactical awareness and decision-making

High-performance routines and reviews

Physical Conditioning

Strong bodies support strong minds.

Motorsport is brutal. Top drivers train like athletes for a reason—because strength, endurance, and resilience on race day are non-negotiable.

Our conditioning programmes are tailored to the demands of modern racing and the individual needs of each driver—from karting to pro categories. These programs can be executed remotely or at our own facility.

What we cover:

Discipline-specific strength and mobility

Cardiovascular endurance

Reaction speed and neuromuscular control

Recovery and injury prevention systems

Nutrition and lifestyle alignment

Mental Training

Pressure reveals the mind. We prepare for it.

The mental game is where many talented drivers quietly fail. Nerves, distractions, ego, emotion, identity—all of it shows up at race speed. Mental training isn’t about clichés or positivity. It’s about developing the clarity and control to make smart decisions in high-pressure, high-consequence environments.

Shaped by data, debriefs, and both on-track and off-track support. Drivers learn to stay present, regulate emotion, and recover fast after setbacks—without relying on others to reset them.

What we cover:

Focus and awareness under pressure

Emotional regulation and reset tools

Identity, and internal narrative work

Decision-making clarity in the cockpit

Resilience, mindset recovery, and psychological endurance

Financial & Operational Support

Clear strategy, clean delivery.

Behind every serious racing career is a complex system of budgets, schedules, logistics, and operational decisions. Without structure, it breaks. Kokoro brings professional and experienced support to help families and backers stay in control—financially, logistically, and strategically.

We help you plan, track, and spend wisely—so your investment pays dividends.

What we cover:

Budget planning and accountability

Spend discipline: what’s necessary? what’s noise?

Race calendar

Coordination across teams, series, and service providers

Admin, systems, and communication flow

“The step up from karts to cars is never easy and to have those guys fighting your corner and knowing you can truly depend on them is massive.”
