Finger Tip Pushup Hold

Car Racing
Instructions
Assume a pushup position with the legs straight, elbows extended, and head in a neutral position looking at the floor. Rather than being on the palms of your hands you will want to be on your fingers so your palms do not touch the floor. Slowly descend to the floor by retracting the shoulder blades and unlocking the elbows. Descend until the upper arms are parallel or your chest touches the floor. Push back to the starting point by extending the elbows and driving your palms into the floor.

About the coach
After 15 years of racing, I've achieved multiple Championship Titles across the car racing and go-karting scene. After winning championships and being a top competitor in US karting, I made the move to Europe to represent the USA and Compkart. In my final years of karting, I drove for the Kart Republic Factory Team competing in the FIA Championships. My role as a factory driver is what really started my coaching career as I would assist in the skill development of our younger drivers. Since then, I've made the transition to open-wheel racing as I now race USF2000 in pursuit of Indycar. It's been a successful transition claiming the 2021 US F1600 Championship along the way. I've had the opportunity to coach various junior formula teams, karting teams, racing schools, and 1 on 1 coaching with all skill-level weekend racers. As a coach, I try to be enthusiastic and positive yet detail-oriented. I enjoy going over data as I typically find it to be valuable reinforcement to video and it's very specific which is beneficial when looking for small time margins. I find my coaching style usually can adapt to most skill levels.
