Fixed vs. Growth Mindset

There was a coach at my high school who was famous for saying to his athletes “son, you have po-tential.” He could see- genuinely visualize- the growth and skill that an athlete was capable of in the future, not just where they were currently. I thought I understood it as a teen, but then I had kids and wow can we see the potential they can often not visualize or expect to see in the future. This visual helps kids compare a fixed mindset (I can’t) with a growth mindset (I’m still working on it). You’ll see one version with my ideas and another blank so you can add your own.
