Redefining Mental Toughness
Chances are if you’re an athlete, coach, or involved in the sports world in some shape or form you’ve probably heard the words: mental toughness.
The two words I love to hate.
When I’ve asked athletes what mental toughness is, I usually get common answers like these:
· Someone who doesn’t let what’s going on outside of sport affect them
· Pushing through the pain
· Forgetting about your problems and putting performance at the forefront
· Not letting something sad or upsetting ruin your performance
