. What influences success in training? Carol Dweck suggests that there are two mindsets that athletes have about the way they perceive their talents and abilities. These mindsets are a collection of beliefs that determine their interpretation / response to situations or events. . Growth mindset - Welcome challenges and struggles. Understand this is important for learning and development to occur. - Believe that success is driven by hard work and failures are part of learning. - Understand critical feedback is helpful for achieving goals. - Inspired by the success of others . Fixed mindset - Avoid anything that does not come easy. - Believe that something that requires effort is beyond their capability. When faced with a setback the response may be to run away, give up or try to hide from the problem. - Sees feedback as an attack and ignores it. - Jealous of other people's success and frustrated by their own perceived lack of success. . Almost every truly great athlete has had a growth mindset and research suggests this way of thinking nurtures a healthier attitude towards practice, learning, overcoming setbacks and improving performance over time. I'd argue that this can be applied to success in other areas of life too such as work or personal growth. Growth mindsets are developed over time through experience, guidance and deliberate practice. Nobody ever has a growth mindset 100% of the time and it is important to become aware of any situational triggers that may activate a fixed mindset. . Dweck, C.S. (2009) Mindsets: Developing talent through a growth mindset. Olympic Coach, 21 (1), pp.4-7.
