Ted Lasso, the Emmy Award-wining sports comedy drama, starring Jason Sudeikis, was a huge success. Even though the show was fictitious, it reinforced the definition of a Growth Mindset.
Ted Lasso’s coaching philosophy was based on believing. Likewise, Growth Mindset is also a belief that your intelligence, talents, abilities and qualities can be grown, improved and developed through consistent effort, struggle and failure over time. Individuals who use more of their Growth Mindset don’t believe they have unlimited talents. They know there are limits to their talents. They just don’t know what those limits are until they give a full and committed effort over time to developing those talents and abilities. That’s the lesson Ted Lasso finally got his team to believe.
Below is a link to a short You Tube video with Ted Lasso talking about the power of believing in yourself and others:
