The pursuit of excellence in sport depends on four key facets of
performance, namely physical, technical, tactical and mental
skills. However, when physical, technical and tactical skills are
evenly matched, a common occurrence at elite level, it is the
performer with greater levels of mental toughness that seems to
prevail most often.
This book brings together the world 's leading researchers and
practitioners working on mental toughness to discuss this vital
ingredient of performance excellence in sport, to survey the latest
research and to present cutting-edge developments in theory and
professional practice. It explores key conceptual, methodological
and practical issues including:
- what mental toughness is and is not
- how to measure mental toughness in sport
- how to develop mental toughness in sport
- mental toughness in other human performance settings, from
business to coping and life skills.
Also highlighting important avenues for future research, Mental
Toughness in Sport is essential reading for all advanced students,
researchers and practitioners with an interest in sport psychology
or performance sport.
