Episode 102: Failure as the Literal Path to the Shot

Show Notes

Today's episode teaches Michael Jordan's own framework for failure — the idea that missed shots, lost games, and choked moments aren't detours from success but the literal path to it. Drawing on Jordan's documented words, Carol Dweck's research on growth mindset, and Tim Grover's account of Jordan's practice habits, we look at what it actually means to mine a failure for data. The one action today: after something doesn't land, write down one specific thing it revealed — not how it felt, but what it showed you.

Key Topics: failure as feedback, growth mindset, Michael Jordan, deliberate practice, sports performance, self-improvement, mental models
