Episode 31: Mental Toughness - Part 2

In this episode of The Growth Project, Dr. Lowder and Dr. Shaffer continue to tackle May's focus of mental toughness. They begin the conversation by discussing why mental toughness is such a difficult construct to define, and then highlight a seminal study from sport psychology research that identifies characteristics of mentally tough athletes (Jones et al., 2002). They focus in on three of these characteristics and discuss examples of how those qualities have been demonstrated in sport, business, and life. Enjoy!
