Growth Mindset with Sports Medicine Physician Marci Goolsby

September 05, 2023 • Giselle Aerni, MD • Episode 162

On today’s episode, I’m talking to Sports Medicine Physician Dr. Marci Goolsby about keeping a growth mindset.

Marci is the Medical Director of the Women’s Sports Medicine Center at the Hospital for Special Surgery and an Assistant Professor at Weill Cornell Medical College. She’s recently been named the Director of Sports Medicine for the WNBA and is also serving this year as the president for the American Medical Society for Sports Medicine. Throughout her life and career, Marci has excelled at maintaining a growth mindset, always emphasizing the process over the outcomes. This has helped her learn from mistakes and adapt to an ever-changing environment.

We talk about:

The crucial role that mentorship plays in both discovering possible career pathways and later accessing crucial opportunities.
Using leadership opportunities to learn the process behind the scenes.
Learning when to say yes and when to say no to work that comes our way.
