Growth vs Fixed Mindset: Your skills are not static. You need to learn to believe that you can constantly improve with the proper mindset. Then prove it!
Work Ethic: It doesn’t matter what kind of player you are today. It only matters what kind of player you want to become and how hard you are willing to work to become that player.
