5 Minutes with Bo Hanson: Fixed vs Growth Mindset

Learn why your team’s skill set is only a starting point by understanding the difference between a fixed and a growth mindset. In this short video Bo explains how a fixed mindset drives the expectation that an athlete can only operate within a predetermined range of abilities, while a growth mindset sees the potential for skill development on a mental and physical level.

In this five minute video we hear about techniques teams can use to take themselves to new levels of learning and results (instead of returning to the same principles or starting point every session). Bo calls this ‘Compounding Practice’. Compounding practice is something that all successful teams and athletes do. They begin with the basics and build their craft, layer upon layer, until they become a specialist in the skills essential to their sport.

Bo also talks about the way experiential activities can reveal an athlete’s approach to tasks and their personal working style. The activities clearly demonstrate the way an athlete’s behavioral strengths can help their team complete a task in record time. Watch now!
