Become besties with your second driver. Develop a language so you can talk to each other. Yell at each other when you're upset and lean on each other when you need it. Let your coach in on some of the dialect so he/she gets the inside jokes and isn't concerned with your overtly inappropriate analogies. It's not like anyone is recording audio behind the glass. Don't think about "failures" of any magnitude because plenty of other people will do that for you. Most of all celebrate, thrive and become immediately motivated in the moment by the successes - even the tiny push to get a first assist. To me, that is what is meant by 'leave it on the field'.

Funny how it also works with co-workers.
