Growth mindset has been shown to be a key predictor of achievement in all settings. To help students develop an overall growth mindset, it is best for all adult role models to use the same positive language and reinforce growth mindset in all settings. Reinforcing growth mindset in sports and the arts can be a more comfortable environment to demonstrate how mindset can have a significant impact on progress, as students might be more willing to accept that they start with varying strengths and needs. In addition, their progress or achievements are often more immediately visible. Adults can use these positive experiences to explain how mindset translates to academic and other life experiences.
