Today, we have a very special guest, Matt Best, MAP Sports Science Lead & Project Director, who was one of the architects of a groundbreaking study involving 60% of the U.S Development Academy players and coaches. In our conversation, we delve into the profound impact of psychological mindsets on individual and team performance, along with the importance of measuring and understanding these mindsets. We introduce the concept of psychological mindsets namely the three categories of mindsets focused on at MAP Sports — growth mindset, purpose, and social belonging—and their significance in various settings, both at work and at home. We explore why these mindsets hold immense importance for individuals and how they can impact their overall well-being. Next, we dive deeper into growth mindset. Matt elaborates on the key differences between a growth mindset and a fixed mindset and how these mindsets manifest in individuals' work and personal lives. We delve into the reasons why cultivating a growth mindset is crucial and how leaders of teams, such as coaches and managers, can support its development within their respective teams. Furthermore, we explore the methods of measuring mindsets and the importance of such measurements in understanding individuals and fostering their growth. Get ready to gain profound insights into the world of psychological mindsets and their transformative power in individual and team performance. It's time to unleash your potential!
