    All my favorite athletes have a commonality: They represent the triumph of growth mindset over fixed mindset.

    Growth mindset advocates that we can win over our limitation by deliberate practice. Look at the example of Michael Jordan:

    Michael Jordan considered one of the greatest basketball players of all time. Despite being cut from his high school basketball team, he worked hard and developed a growth mindset, which helped him become a six-time NBA champion and five-time MVP.
