Because the answer is easy,\u00a0<strong>mental toughness.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>But over the years, I&#8217;ve realized that there&#8217;s a small problem with that answer: It assumes that athletes either have mental toughness, or they don&#8217;t. It pre-frames all of our thinking into believing that a strong mindset is in the same realm as good looks &#8212; either you&#8217;re born with it, or you&#8217;re not.<\/p>\n<p>Thankfully, because of some groundbreaking research that&#8217;s been done over the past few decades, we know that&#8217;s absolutely <strong>not<\/strong> the case.<\/p>\n<p>Not only can mental toughness be taught, <strong>it can be trained and improved.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>So I called up my friend <a href=\"https:\/\/tumblingcoach.com\/blog\/mental-blocks-jeff-benson\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Jeff Benson<\/a>, who is an expert in sports psychology, to see if he could share some of his insights on how coaches and athletes can train their mental toughness in order to excel.

Because the answer is easy,\u00a0<strong>mental toughness.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p><p>But over the years, I've realized that there's a small problem with that answer: It assumes that athletes either have mental toughness, or they don't. It pre-frames all of our thinking into believing that a strong mindset is in the same realm as good looks -- either you're born with it, or you're not.<\/p><p>Thankfully, because of some groundbreaking research that's been done over the past few decades, we know that's absolutely <strong>not<\/strong> the case.<\/p><p>Not only can mental toughness be taught, <strong>it can be trained and improved.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p><p>So I called up my friend <a href=\"https:\/\/tumblingcoach.com\/blog\/mental-blocks-jeff-benson\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Jeff Benson<\/a>, who is an expert in sports psychology, to see if he could share some of his insights on how coaches and athletes can train their mental toughness in order to excel.
