Before you listen to this weeks podcast, consider this question:

Athletic ability and the best performing athletes have what balance of talent (what they were born with) and work ethic (what can be developed)?

Is it 75% talent and 25% work ethic?

How about 50/50? Or could it be 10% talent and 90% work ethic?

Consider Olympic and professional Athletes, do you think they are "talented"? Or have they developed a world-class work-ethic and skill-set?

Most people think that the highest performing Athletes are extremely talented and that this 'talent' is responsible for their amazing performances.

In fact, research is proving that adage wrong... Work ethic is the most critical component.

Enter Stanford Professor and Author Carol Dweck, who is pioneering research showing that students, leaders, parents, and Athletes (really anyone who prizes performance) can achieve more and rise to the top of their field by embracing a Growth Mindset.

What is a Growth Mindset? And what about it's counter-part, the all-to-tempting Fixed Mindset?

We discuss these two mindsets and exactly why you should start building your 2020 cycling goals using a Growth Mindset in this weeks podcast!
