In this episode, I had an intriguing conversation with my friend Llewellyn Morkel about cultivating a mindset for continuous growth. Llewellyn is a strength and conditioning coach at Stellenbosch University’s High Performance unit. 

Here’s a quick overview of what we talked about:

• What Llewellyn does and why he loves it
• Why strength and conditioning is about problem solving
• The difference between bodybuilding and strength and conditioning
• The role of a fixed mindset vs. a growth mindset in strength and conditioning
• The role of strength and conditioning when someone sustains an injury
• Your circle of concern vs. your circle of influence and what makes you effective
• Why it’s important to find enjoyment in what you’re doing, and two kinds of joy that you can draw on
• How to be aware of the mindsets that you develop as you engage a process in life, and why it’s important
• Advice for people who want to achieve higher levels of performance

Until next time.

Much love,
