Over the July break I not only had to focus on developing new habits but was also given the task of reading “Mindset” by Carol Dweck. The purpose of reading this book was to make as understand how the way we think is not always the right one and show us how we can change the way we see the world to become more successful. As I read the book I quickly understood the many things I was doing wrong in mi life and decided that it was time to do a change. To begin with, I noticed that I as an athlete always saw others as a threat and became jealous of their success but after finishing the chapter on sports and athletes I noticed that instead of getting envious at them I should use them as an inspiration and as a way of further challenging my self to become better. As soon as I finished reading the book I was eager to start soccer season and implement the same type of growth mentality to my teammates.
