Mental toughness is something which is difficult to define as we all have our own ways in which we deal with stress, pressure, distractions, set-backs etc. What is most important when considering mental toughness is to assess each individual, how they currently deal with these things and to work out ways in which they can begin to improve their own ability to continue despite adversity.

Improving mental toughness can therefore cover many elements including eliminating distractions, stopping negative self-talk and improving confidence, but what is needed for each person requires individual assessment.
