    About this ebook

    The growth mindset is the biggest performance enhancer there is. Will a growth mindset guarantee success? No. There are too many other factors involved. But without it will success be all but impossible? More than likely. And success in anything is difficult enough as it is.
    This mini-book will describe the mindset, how to use it as an athlete, as a coach and as a parent/guardian.
    The impact of mindset, and the simple language or semantics we use for praise, have an incredibly profound effect on sports development. As a general rule of thumb, kids who develop a growth mindset have more chance of being successful in the long term, both in sports and in life, than those with a fixed mindset.

      CHAPTER ONE

      Introduction

      As a coach, I used to be able to tell which athletes were going to be really good. Whether it was football or track and field, I could tell. There was something about them but it wasn’t the obvious signs. Yes, of course they were athletic in the true sense of the word. They had great balance and movement. They were the kinds of kids who would be good at any sport. Usually. Not always. Sometimes, they weren’t that kid, they were a little awkward and graceless. But there was something that made them stand out.

      It was usually in their attitude. Not just how they approached me. It was how they approached the sport. For one thing, they played without fear. They ‘had a go’. If I threw them into a game, they played. It didn’t matter how good the other kids were, or that they were struggling. They didn’t shy away from the challenge. If they joined the sprint group at the athletics club and I started them off in a warm up, the drills can be quite difficult, new movement patterns that they haven’t done before. But they would just stand next to someone and copy them. Again, they would ‘have a go’.

      The other thing was that you could see them learn. You could see their brain working when a coach spoke. Processing the information. Turning it over in their head. Trying this new information out in their mind. Sometimes they would close their eyes, visualising a move they’ve never done before. Or making small movements to try to prepare themselves for
