Watch this clip. What led me to be able to do this? How many reasons can you think of? Write

a quick brainstorm with your table group

Let’s share our ideas:

Now HIGHLIGHT in RED all the statements which show a FIXED MIND-SET approach to SUCCESS Highlight in GREEN all the statements which show a GROWTH MINDSET approach to SUCCESS

Although Beckham has been coached by some of the best people in the world and has personal trainers to help him stay fit , there is ONE reason above all others that helped him become one of the best free-kick takers in the world…

Growth Mind-Set Goals – Having goals and believing that EFFORT

= SUCCESS

Resilience – Perseverance and determination – a ‘try and try again’

attitude

IniTiative - Taking risks and ownership for your own success

Let’s look at some facts about my life. Where have I shown GRIT? Label each statement with G.R.I.T. letters. Lets do ONE together:

Growth Mindset Goals – Having goals and believing that EFFORT = SUCCESS

Resilience – Perseverance and determination – a ‘try and try again’ attitude

IniTiative - Taking risks and ownership for your own success

At school Beckham’s teachers told him he would never be a professional footballer.

Which of these SURPRISE you the most?

You are now going to work in groups to RESEARCH some more SUCCESSFUL PEOPLE and find out how they have shown GRIT. There are 5 stations around the room; each with one of the following people:

Malala Yousefzai Michael Jordan

Hillary Devey Didier Drogba Nelson Mandela

Nominate 1 person to go to EACH STATION in the room. They have 5 minutes to collect as much information as they can. After 5 minutes, you will all need to RETURN HOME and help each other COLLATE all your EVIDENCE by teaching each other what you have learnt . This should take 15 minutes.

You have 4 minutes at each station. You need to read the information and fill in your ‘evidence collection sheet’

So HOW did they all show G.R.I.T.?

I think NONE of them is the odd-one out! Why might this be?

Now watch this final clip. It is an example of TRUE GRIT….
