Growth Mindset
Table of Contents
Growth mindset = skills can improve with practice — a miss is data about what to train next, not proof you're “not a math person.”
Example
You're “not a math person” until you practice fractions long enough — skill isn't fixed. I shanked three serves in a row at clinic. Growth mindset was ten minutes on toss height, not deciding I'd never have a reliable serve.
