Hey there! I'm Belinda Riseley, and I'm not just your average Exercise Physiologist and Educator – I'm also the proud Founder of MotiV8 Training. You might have caught wind of me hosting the Motorsport Coaching Podcast or championing the FIA Girls On Track program. Oh, and did I mention I'm a mom to two racing boys? Yup, my love for motorsport runs deep, and I'm here to share that passion with you.

My journey into the world of motorsport started way back when, thanks to my family's deep ties to the industry. Growing up around the track gave me a unique insight into the demands of motorsport and the importance of physical wellness in high-performance athletics.

Fast forward to 1996, and I decided to dive headfirst into the world of grassroots motorsport training. Back then, success was all about how you performed on the track. But as time went on, I noticed a shift – sponsorship started playing a bigger role, no matter how skilled you were behind the wheel.

Ah, but the story doesn't end there! Just as sponsorship began to take center stage, along came the rise of social media. Suddenly, it wasn't just about how fast you could go around the track – it was about how well you could connect with your audience online. That's when I realized that in this digital age, building a strong personal brand was just as crucial as securing sponsorship deals.

So, I dove into the world of branding, helping athletes define who they wanted to be known for both on and off the track. Whether it was crafting the perfect Instagram post or honing their messaging for press releases, I made sure my athletes were equipped with the tools and knowledge to stand out in a crowded field. Because in today's fast-paced world, it's not just about being the fastest – it's about being memorable.

Now, I'm not just a coach – I'm a Motorsport Business Coach because, let's face it, motorsport is as much about business as it is about speed.
