KEY TAKEAWAYS
- At some point during the game this girl made a serve and it was just awful. It became apparent to me that she had never been taught how to serve. My team decided that was a point and it was our turn to serve, but I thought: What sportsman, what person, wants to take a point from someone that doesn’t have the ability, that is trying to learn?
- We give her the ball back and four or five times she re-takes the serves and each time the technique is non-existent. More out of luck than anything, on serve six she hits the ball over the net and makes a fantastic serve and everybody cheers her. The smile on her face was like the Cheshire Cat.
- It doesn’t matter how good or how bad you are at something, by demonstrating to somebody that you are willing to give them a second chance you are showing that you have patience, tolerance, kindness in your heart, forgiveness, encouragement. Giving someone a second chance isn’t about winning, it’s about encouraging others to better results, and when you do that, surely you’ll find your own results become better.
BEST MOMENTS
‘If you don’t encourage that person to learn and enjoy the sport, it’s more likely than not, after a period of time, that they will give up and go about life not liking beach volleyball.’
‘Even the good people started not getting their first serves in and people began to chant and shout “one more, one more” in Spanish. They followed on from my lead.’
‘Why not give somebody a second chance?’
ABOUT THE HOST
Gavin Scott is a born entrepreneur with a passion for start up and scale up. He has over 20 years real estate experience in investment and development.
Gavin says: Over the years I have discovered that mindset is everything. Now, that might sound obvious, but it is! You see the number of awoken minds are very few in reality. Whilst acknowledging mindset is key it is absolutely different from utilising, influencing, impacting and effecting great change, for yourself, your loved ones, friends, colleagues and the wider public.
Why?
Like most of us I have had many ups and downs. I want to share the lessons learnt and promote a better environment for all, internally and externally!
How?
Through sharing my own experiences and hosting some fabulous individuals including some big household names to discuss key topics around mindset and the success formulas I hope the listener will become inspired to create space for change for betterment in their lives. I aim to inspire change by encouragement, not by force. I intend to inspire by education, not by regulation.
