Our brains use stories to understand our lives and overcome problems, and to get past these problems, we have to change the story. For an athlete who has experienced a setback, there is an opportunity to take hold and tell a new story of resilience and come back and be the hero.

In this session from the Leaders Sport Performance Summit in LA earlier in 2016, Meg LeFauve, co-writer of Pixar's acclaimed Inside Out movie, talks to Washington University's Dehra Harris about what makes a compelling story, what a hero needs to overcome their obstacles, and how we translate this into the stories of grit to help our athletes.
