Fixed Mindset Versus Growth Mindset in Swimming

Mentality is a person's point of view and way of thinking, or a pre-existing set of

attitudes. Mindset greatly influences one's behavior and ultimate success or failure in life.

People's ideas and viewpoints differ on a specific topic. Positive and motivated people are more

likely to succeed or at least generate better results. This mentality believes that by working

harder at daily activities, one would become cleverer, smarter, and brilliant. Those with a fixed

mindset think that information and abilities are fixed and that they cannot develop their brains or

ability to grasp more complicated ideas.

On the school swim team, I could only do one stroke because of my set attitude.

Fortunately, after I started competing in high school, I progressed in all strokes. I've always

enjoyed swimming, but when I began participating on a team, I fell behind and lost confidence.

Many people believe that intuition, physical strength, and other characteristics are

predetermined. They believe that no matter how much they try; they will always be

themselves. Fixed-minded people are more prone to limit their own potential. They

believe they will never be great at anything if they aren't now (WANGWONGWIROJ et

al. 2020).

Furthermore, my set attitude leads me to miss their strengths. like to focus on their

strengths and ignore the rest of the issue (Duchi et al. 2020). For example, a gifted

swimmer with a fixed mindset may believe competitive swimming is their only career

choice. "I was born to swim." "What if I can't swim?" It's simple to understand how such

a mindset might limit a person. Intertwined personal and professional life

After weeks of futile practice, I considered quitting, but my coach's optimistic

attitude and confidence boost resulted to a change in my swimming outlook. Swimming

faster isn't the only way to improve our performance in the water. Getting to know some

of our methods Your coach may feel your negative self-talk via your body language.

Shoulders sagging, head dropping, furious eyes hidden behind goggles “I can't,” is

probably the most well-known negative self-talk hit. We all have issues with swimming.

We lose our feeling of water when we need it most. We swim slowly while we expect to

go quickly. It's not the setback itself that's crippling, but our reaction to it (Duchi et al.

2020).

While uncertainty is natural, being hindered by it and missing key training and

competition opportunities due to it doesn't align with our long-term goals in the pool. The coach

pushed me to complete skills, exercises, and sets that they don't like. It may be necessary to make

your best athletes practice something they aren't very good at or don't enjoy in order to show

them the importance of learning. By working hard and communicating effectively with my

coach, I changed my mindset from fixed to growth-minded. My swimming improved

significantly as a consequence. This meet day may be a "growth-oriented" day for swimmers.

Recall that race timing is dependent on how successfully swimmers "perform" various tasks, thus

swimmers may strive toward particular sub-goals along the road to faster times. It is possible to

discuss how well the swimmers performed these components after the race, as well as how to

improve upon them.

Growing brains believe that basic abilities may be enhanced with dedication and effort.

To accomplish great things, one must have a love for learning and mental toughness. Every

professional swimmer has experienced disappointment. A set may need more mental than

physical endurance. Fortitude is required to jump in and give it your all when the second session

of the day is approaching and you're ready to give up. Distinguishing features of a fast swimmer

are endurance and perseverance.
