Controlling the controllable

Improvement comes from focusing on measurable goals

As I write this article, I am putting together my plans for the Red Bull Air Race in Austria, specifically in a city just outside if Vienna named Wiener Neustadt. It’s pronounced ‘veen-er noy-schtadt’, I believe.

Looking back at the fifth race of our season in Kazan, Russia, we came away with some valuable lessons learned, as always. Therefore, I think this is as good a time as any to write about how our team works to improve at each race, even if the end result may not signify improvement (we were 7th in Kazan).
