U is for Understanding
This week on the Building Championship Mindsets podcast, Dr. Selking discusses the importance of understanding in developing a championship mindset. In a world filled with distractions and insecurity, it is crucial to pause and reflect on our beliefs, values, and goals. Understanding allows us to grasp the nature, significance, and explanation of things, leading to a more grounded and purposeful way of living. Dr. Selking talks about the role of mentors in gaining understanding, as they can provide valuable insights and wisdom based on their life experiences.
