“If it’s right, it will start to feel like a family.” Your environment impacts your performance, and having a supportive circle around you helps you to feel a sense of belonging, and also to develop your skills in a motivated and efficient manner. In this episode of Mind Set Win, Olympic Freestyle BMX athlete Nikita Ducarroz applies this idea to her own life, and elaborates on how it has helped her evolve and improve throughout her career as an athlete. Host Kate Courtney breaks this asset down into four vital aspects: inclusion, learning, collaborating and questioning, to help you further understand the key points that make up a supportive environment.This week’s exercise helps you to filter out what you need from your environment, and how you can implement this in your daily life.
