In this podcast, Dr. Jordan describes how to teach girls that it is the pursuit of fulfillment that leads to excellence and also learn how to become aware of their intrinsic motivation. Also included is how being so future-directed (doing things because it looks good on college applications and to be accepted someday into a top college) causes kids to lose playing sports for the love of the game and learning for learning’s sake.
