Mindset Lab

It was a blast!💥 Last week, I was invited to work with the coaches of the Swimming Association in Berlin on different sport psych topics!

We talked about the importance of implementing sport psych approaches to train the mind of their young athletes 🧠

Additionally, we dived into the motivational theory and looked at how they can help their athletes to find their inner drive, focusing on their own behaviour in training sessions 🤔

Always great to spread the word of sport psychology 📢

I had the pleasure to conduct a workshop with the coaches of the Berliner Schwimm Verband! 🫱🏼‍🫲🏽

In our workshop, we talked about sport psychology in general and how it can assist coaches in supporting their athletes 🧠

We also talked about the popular and highly relevant topic of motivation, how it develops, and what role stress and fear of failure play in that regard 🏊🏻‍♀️

Finally, we dived into the all important topic of coaches behaviour and how they can ingrain, with their own coaching philosophy and their actions, a growth mindset into their athletes 🤔

Thank you for having me and the interesting and motivated exchange! 🙏🏽

So, apparently, being able to play a rather difficult down the line backhand in tennis is now something you cannot really learn?? 😳 According to some commentators of the , it’s in a players DNA and cannot be taught 🧬

I have to say, I am rather disappointed to see, that in 2022 there still exists the notion of talent as a fixed state, which which some athletes are born with!

It disappoints (and angers) me, because listening to well known people, role models in sport, offer such an old fashioned explanation when it comes to great plays, can unfortunately instil a fixed mindset to young players listening in.
(The causation here being: “if he/she says it, it must be true)

My advice to young athletes, and everybody, out there: DON’T listen to such claims. We don’t know how much of our abilities is genetically predetermined!

So go out there and try, persevere, keep working on all those skills you want to improve on! Control the controllables! 💪🏼
