093: Helping Your Softball Athlete Have a Growth Mindset
Manage episode 492042016 series 3501703
In today's episode, I am sharing a co-hosted parent workshop from 2021 with Coach Nicole Dennis, a mental performance coach, on growth mindset. We explore how understanding and developing a growth mindset can transform athletic performance, especially for young pitchers.
Episode Highlights:
• Creating awareness about fixed-mindset language and behaviors
• The power of "yet"
• Praising the process and effort rather than talent or natural ability
• Using intentional conversations to get curious about athletes' perspectives
• Celebrating failure in controlled environments to reduce fear
