Mental Toughness

'The most important attribute a player must have is mental toughness.' - Mia Hamm

One of the values of Positive Leadership is Mental Toughness.

There are seven characteristics of mental toughness in the Positive Leadership model. They are a set of behaviours and beliefs about yourself, your work, how you interact. A person who is mentally tough looks at competition as a challenge to rise up to rather than a threat to back down from. Like physical skills, mental toughness can be learned through quality instruction and practice.

The seven characteristics are:

1. Competitive
2. Confident
3. Control
4. Committed
5. Composure
6. Courage
7. Consistency
