The Winning Mindset Framework

Sporting Edge has studied the world’s elite performers for more than a decade and found that they share these six transformational mindsets.

The skills underpinning these mindsets will help you to thrive in periods of uncertainty and pressure.

Growth Mindset

We’ve traditionally viewed the world’s elite performers as different, with a special talent or innate intelligence that separates them from the rest. However, our research has shown the importance of broader factors to sustained success, such as tenacity, deliberate practice, coachability and learning from others.

At this time of widespread change, organisations that rely solely on natural intelligence and talent can encounter behaviours that limit their progress. The result is a lack of risk-taking, collaboration and learning that causes stagnation and frustration. Organisations that foster a growth mindset encourage curiosity, creative problem-solving, and learning rapidly from mistakes. In these environments, people seek fresh challenges rather than trying to protect their old achievements.

We’ve interviewed Olympic medallists, coaches, learning specialists, and business leaders to capture how a growth mindset gave them the confidence to embrace mistakes and persevere in the most challenging situations.
