Grit - Part 2, Effort Counts Twice!

from Lessons with Dad Hosted by Ruthie Egger and Dad, Jim Egger

Continuing our discussion on GRIT by Angela Duckworth. Take the GRIT TEST at Angela's website: angeladuckworth.com/grit-scale/ In today's episode we learn that Effort Counts Twice and it is Multiplicitive! Also - the way to excellence is Deliberate Practice. Below is a summary of what Angela Duckworth recommends in her book GRIT: 1.Get a Coach, mentor or teacher that can help you get the most out of deliberate practice 2.Know the science – each of the basic requirements is unremarkable 1.Have a clear stretch goal 2.Full effort and concentration 3.Immediate and informative feedback 4.Repetition with reflection and reinforcement 3.Make Practice a Habit – routines are a godsend and take away decisions and thought about when and where to practice 4.Get the right mindset – deliberate practice can feel wonderful. It’s all about in-the-moment self awareness without judgment. It is not hours of brute force training. It is high quality, thoughtful training goals pursued for just a few hours a day, tops.
