Beginner's Mindset: What It Is, How to Get It


Listen Later

Anyone looking to try a new sport or take up a new hobby will appreciate this insightful episode about the beginner’s mindset. Along with hosts Sarah Bowen Shea and Coach Liz Waterstraat, guest Tom Vanderbilt, author of the new book Beginners: the Joy and Transformative Power of Lifelong Learning, talks about: 

-what exactly a beginner’s mindset is

-his tires-fell-off-the-bus marathon experience; 

-the role failure and self-doubt play in the learning process; 

-the power of good coaching and a group; and, 

-what a “stereotype threat” is. 

 

Before Tom joins the conversation around BARRY INSERT TIME HERE, Coach Liz talks about the mindset she brought to her Ironman training this year—and how it carried her to success (+ enjoyment!) on race day
