A Coaching Reference
In the Fight ON! Mentality, it’s important for individuals to have the Growth Mindset. According to Carol Dweck, in a growth mindset, people believe that their most basic abilities can be developed through dedication and hard work—brains and talent are just the starting point. In a fixed mindset, people believe their basic qualities, like their intelligence or talent, are simply fixed traits. They spend their time documenting their intelligence or talent instead of developing them. They also believe that talent alone creates success—without effort.” With the Growth Mindset, it is important to grow and continue to persevere which means to stick with it; to continue working hard even after experiencing difficulty or failure. Keep going and never stop growing.
