Abstract

Many young athletes may be unaware of how a fixed mindset could affect their sports performance. A fixed mindset is when people think their abilities or knowledge cannot be changed or improved, which can lead to lack of confidence in their sports abilities. When young athletes move to a growth mindset, they can focus more on the process rather than the ability to do the task and have the potential to show improvement in their attitudes towards sports performance. In order to address their fixed mindsets, I have created a one day lesson on fixed and growth mindsets for 8 to 12 year old players affiliated with the Monterey Bay Pirates in Monterey, California.
