Growth mindset has been a hot topic in recent years. For those who have not yet come across the term, in a growth mindset, people believe that their most basic abilities can be developed through dedication and hard work - brains and talent are just the starting point.
So, if you are an athlete, a coach, parent, club leader or volunteer you can become an even better version of yourself through learning about growth mindset.
To help you do so we are delighted to welcome Jamie McBrearty, Mindset Manager, Leisure and Culture Dundee, who will be speaking at our Changing the Future weekend on 20th and 21st January at the sportscotland National Sports Training Centre in Largs.

We took the opportunity to catch up with Paddy Hudson, Glasgow University Boat Club's new Head Coach, as he gets started in his new role.
What caught your eye when the Head Coach post at Glasgow University Boat Club came up?There’s a great history and tradition with rowing at Glasgow of which I was already aware. More recently I watched the girls’ crews race at Henley Women’s last year and was impressed. It feels like a Club that has a good amount of headroom for further development, and the basics in place to facilitate that development.
