Mindset

Yesterday was a strange game.

The history of soccer is littered with examples of teen-age prodigies who failed to fulfill their potential, while others who once shared the same hype went on to become global superstars.

Players with a fixed mindset rely almost exclusively on their natural talent to deal with setbacks in their careers. They believe that talent on its own will help them through setbacks. We can say that yesterday was an example of that. Their mindset was in trick or treat… Rush team was fighting without talents. Rush team was winning their duals on 1v1. Players born with talent have a little experience facing obstacles or challenges. As a result, they often view these roadblocks as threats. When things get tough, they quit very easily and avoid hard work.
