“Something I always talk about is being prepared for the unexpected.”

For Venezuelan BMX rider Daniel Dhers, the key to competing at the highest level is being prepared for something to go wrong at any moment – no matter how unlikely it seems. On Mind Set Win this week, Daniel reveals how truly embracing this attitude has enabled him to build a long and successful career. He explains that it’s not about always having the perfect solution in stressful situations, but rather not panicking, and taking things step-by-step.

Hosts Cédric and York lean into the theme of contingency planning, and introduce an exercise that helps you map out how to react when a situation throws what Daniel refers to as a “banana peel” at you. They identify three stages: green, orange and red – similar to a traffic light system.
  1. Green means that everything is going according to plan.
  2. Orange means that a minor obstacle has occurred.
  3. Red symbolises that a big obstacle has happened.

What is your plan B? How do you want to react? In general, the plan of action should be oriented towards remaining calm and figuring out the next steps without disruptive emotions, like taking a deep breath or listening to your favourite song.
