Attitudes
University of Pittsburgh Child Psychologist professor Margaret McFarland once said that, "Attitudes aren't taught, they're caught. "
What a fantastic expression. We often hear about attitude, and how a positive or negative attitude can impact your performance, work, health, and life. Some of the greatest teachers, coaches, and motivators have all expounded on the benefits of a positive attitude.
Professor McFarland noted that just like other traits enthusiasm can be caught. A teacher that shows a student what they love instead of just teaching them rote from the textbook will have a far greater impact on imparting knowledge and inspiring the student.
When trying to teach or pass on knowledge to the next generation which we all have a responsibility, show them your passion. Infuse them with your enthusiasm, love, and desire to learn and grow.
The power of a positive enthusiastic attitude is infectious and can take us places we never dreamed of going.
With Love,
Coach K
