Gia Trevisan, VIS League™ Mentor & professional 400 meter runner for Team Italy, explains the importance of having a growth mindset in training and in competition. She shares how learning to see obstacles as opportunities for growth has helped her succeed at the University of Arizona and in her Professional career. Gia shares great tips on how to develop a growth mindset and manage race anxiety in the podcast and takes us through how she fell in love with track as a senior in high school, and worked her way to winning Italian nationals in 2019. She explains how the pandemic and the lack of races reinforced her growth mindset and how it helped her develop as an athlete. Gia reminds us that the destination really is the journey and that competing is a process of feeling content with where you're at, but knowing you want to be somewhere else. “I made hard work a habit”- Gia Trevisan
