Having the right mindset can make an enormous difference when navigating a rapidly changing world. Your brain, like a muscle, can be trained and strengthened. Understanding how your mind works, looking after it, and knowing when you need to adapt your thinking will help you face competition, seize opportunity, and cope with pressure just as elite performers do.
