Mindset, by Carol Dweck made me ask myself how hard I take losing and how I handle it. I hate losing more than anything else in the world. I take losing very personally even if I did everything in my power towards the activity. My joy in sports mainly comes from when I win or am successful. I do not think this means I have a fixed mindset though, because winning or being successful is a sign that work that I have put in is paying off. Losing means that I failed in the way that I did not prepare enough. Losing also means that there is a person(s) that are better than me and that is the worst feeling in the world. When I lose I do not think worse of myself I just get angry because I know that there is somebody else working harder than me. Mindset, by Carol Dweck made me ask myself how I take losing and I do not take it as well as I could because I want to be the best I can.

  1. Add a why to your response topic sentence. Good explanations, but I'd like more specific and concrete examples that show us what you are speaking of. Could you use specific games you were in to illustrate your point to your reader? Proofread.
