What a win!

Wow! Did you stay up to watch the Black Caps play South Africa in the semi final of the Cricket World Cup? What an AMAZING game of cricket! 



Towards the end of the game, when it was SO tense and I didn't know who would win, I couldn't help but think about how calm Grant Elliott and Daniel Vettori seemed to be. It made me wonder about their mindset - do you think they had a fixed mindset or a growth mindset? What do you think they were saying to themselves and to each other when they were under SO much pressure?  Leave a comment with your ideas!  

I can't wait for the final!  Bring on Sunday!  #BacktheBlackCaps

  2. I think that Grant Elliot must have had an Enormous Growth Mindset. If he had a Fixed Mindset, it would have been easy for him to 'choke under pressure' like lots of critics via the Internet had said he would do. But he showed how solid his Growth mindset was, as hitting that 6 (Not an easy task to do) is what he needed to do for his team to win, and he rose to the occasion!
