The human brain is an amazing tool. And there are many ways we can use it to develop skills that are far from obvious. And one field that's looked at just how the brain can be trained to enhance personal performance is Sports Psychology. It's a field of study that first arose as long ago as the 1920s, though the recent history can be traced to the 1980s. Sports psychology looks at how cognitive and behavioral strategies can help develop skills that improve our performance of a task. And since motorcycling requires many of the same sort of skills that athletes employ, there's no reason we can't exploit the same techniques to develop our own abilities.
The weather's closing in for the winter in the northern hemisphere and maybe we won't want to be out on the bike quite so often as when the weather's warmer and drying but it doesn't mean we can't usfully improve our riding during the off-season!

SURVIVAL SKILLS HISTORY - Run by BTEC-QUALIFIED rider coach Kevin Williams, Survival Skills Rider Training is one of the UK's LONGEST ESTABLISHED INDEPENDENT post-test motorcycle rider training school. Survival Skills offers real-world and relevant training to riders at all levels of ability from newly qualified to experienced.
"I launched Survival Skills Rider Training back in the spring of 1997 after realising there was a need for a different style of post-test training that wasn't aimed at developing a specific riding style to gain an advanced test pass, but instead catered for what we now call 'client-centred training', where the needs of the trainee are prioritised. Since then, I have delivered Survival Skills to approaching two thousand riders of every level of ability from newly-qualified to off-duty police riders."
Survival Skills courses aim to help you understand:
