This is the 5th installment in our "Mindset Myths" series. Today, I challenge the popular notion of "mental toughness," asserting that it often leads to emotional suppression and unrealistic expectations in athletes. I also share with you what term I use instead, and my reasoning around that decision.
Episode Highlights:
• Why I don't use the word mental toughness
• The difference between mental toughness and mental strength
• How the term mental strength can give the power back to your athletes
• Importance of fostering supportive environments over tough love
