What is Mental Toughnessย
There are way too many definitions of what is psychological strength. And I’m talking published research definitions. It seemed to be such a sexy term, that scholars just ran with creating their own meaning.
But, I am a wash and wear kind of guy, I keep it very simple.
But, it does take a genius to keep it simple.ย
I simply continue to use Jim Loehr’s definition. (Performing well under pressure and how we cope with adversity, 1986).ย
In my podcast- 15 Minutes of Mental Toughness,
I ask every expert on my show- what is mental toughness to you?ย
I value how these tough people define strength and more importantly, how they exhibit it in life. SO FAR, I’ve interviewed two different stroke victims, 19 professional athletes, 5 professional strength coaches, two amazing women that ran 383 miles, ultra-endurance athletes,ย 8 personal development coaches, and 8 successful entrepreneurs.ย
