Learning happens in four stages:
One of her experiments is at Parkland Soccer Club. Her group teach the players that mistakes are part of learning. If a player says, "I can't do this," that usually means he fears making mistakes. Then he is encouraged to say "I can't do this, YET!" instead of "I can't do this!"

for growth. Let's believe in ourselves, work hard, and keep improving. The superpower is "YET!"
