Michael Jordan's GROWTH MINDSET
I love to read books about what motivates people and how people (re)act differently on various situations.
My current top 3 in this segment are:
- So good they can't ignore you by Cal Newport
- Influence: Science and Practice by Robert Cialdini
- Mindset by Dr. Carol S. Dweck
I highly recommend all of them, but I want to dedicate this post to the latter, since it links the fixed and growth mindset to every domain in which I am highly interested, such as parenting, sports, business, education and relationships.
One passage describes a video which I have seen several times during the past years. It has inspired me since I've seen it the first time during a presentation of Vital Heynen, a professional Belgian volleyball player and coach. It's already a classic video, but I want to share this legendary Nike commercial with Michael Jordan. It is a great example of how the GROWTH MINDSET works (in just 30 seconds).
Since yet another living legend, Kobe Bryant, is currently playing his last NBA match, time seemed right for me to post this video. I hope you have enjoyed it.

8 年I'm so happy about my timing for this post about NBA MVPs! Kobe scored 60(!) points in his last NBA match and Stephen Curry's Warriors have beaten the Bulls record by winning 73 out of 82 matches... Truly amazing!
