John McEnroe was the world champion of tennis for 4 consecutive years, but McEnroe
has acknowledged that he responded badly to setbacks. He has admitted that he didn’t maximise his potential and could have
performed better for longer.
A GIFT? HARD WORK AND SACRIFICE?• Starting playing tennis aged 2.
• Practised 5 days a week; every week.• By aged 5 playing in tournaments for under 10s.
• By 8 he was allowed to play against adults in competitions.• Had few friends in secondary school and trained in all of his
spare time.• Aged 15 asks his mum to move to Barcelona so he can be
trained with the world’s best.

Stuck?

• “I’m not clever enough”
• “He’s a boff, I’m not”
• “Can I do something easier?”

Use your classroom to immerse yourself in excellence
‘Those with a growth mindset learn from people; people that help them improve by being honest and providing constructive feedback. They seek help from other people to ensure they develop and grow and, providing those who help them are of a growth mindset, they encourage and foster a love of learning’
