When we think of teaching mental toughness, we conjure up images of football coaches driving their athletes during two-a-days in the heat of summer or basketball coaches running sprints at the end of practice until athletes are practically retch.&nbsp; Developing mental toughness is more than pushing an athlete to their breaking point.&nbsp; Mental toughness is an attitude, a mental approach to your game that is disciplined that produces consistent, high level performance regardless of the competitive circumstances.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Tom Thibodeau, head coach of the Chicago Bulls, is seeking to instill \u201c<strong>mental toughness<\/strong>\u201d in his 2013-14 Bulls\u2019 team.&nbsp; Last year\u2019s squad was ousted in the playoffs by the Miami Heat 4-1 in the Conference Semifinals.&nbsp; Thibodeau is trying to emulate the attitude of the past championship teams in Bulls\u2019 history, &#8220;When you look at the championship teams, they have a lot of mental toughness. &nbsp;I&#8217;ve studied the Jordan teams, when he was here. No one had more mental toughness than Michael and that&#8217;s what it takes to win.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Thibodeau wants his team to be <strong>resilient<\/strong>, to be able to bounce back when faced with adversity, \u201cWhatever it might be, you have to be ready to adapt and adapt quickly. That&#8217;s why it&#8217;s a team sport. So if one guy goes out, you expect the next guy to step in and get the job done, and I think that&#8217;s the mindset that you have to have.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Thibodeau realizes the only way to develop mental toughness is through daily practice and thorough preparation, &#8220;I think to be successful in this league, you have to have a lot of mental toughness and it&#8217;s a physical league, and you&#8217;re going to get hit and there&#8217;s going to be soreness, and you have to get through all that stuff. I think the way you train and the way you prepare are important.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Mental toughness is an attitude, a learned tendency to evaluate things and perform in a consistent way in certain circumstances.&nbsp; Attitudes are formed over time, so the development of mental toughness will require time, consistency and persistence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_to_Be_Mentally_Tough\"><\/span>How to Be Mentally Tough<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Work Hard<\/strong> &#8211; Ratchet up your work ethic and look for ways to challenge yourself physically and mentally.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Stay Positive<\/strong> \u2013 The season is long and you will experience ups and downs.&nbsp; Performance is enhanced when you have positive expectations about the future.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Strong Focus<\/strong> \u2013 Play your game according to your specific skill set.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Develop Resiliency<\/strong> \u2013 Commit to finding a way past all obstacles.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Challenge Yourself<\/strong> \u2013 The only way to become tougher is to place yourself in increasingly tougher situations.&nbsp; Create daily goals for yourself that stretch your abilities so you can reach for new levels of performance.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><strong>Sign Up For a <a title=\"Free Mental Toughness Report\" href=\"https:\/\/www.peaksports.com\/mental-toughness-report-athletes\/\">Free Mental Toughness Report!<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity is-style-dots\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"block-979ef383-5bc7-43ee-b8f9-249663ca1a6c\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Related_Sports_Psychology_Articles\"><\/span>Related Sports Psychology Articles<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul id=\"block-05642731-8752-4dbf-9c18-5cc4d276e821\" class=\"wp-block-list has-normal-font-size\">\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.peaksports.com\/sports-psychology-blog\/two-attributes-of-mentally-tough-athletes\/\"><strong>Two Attributes of Mentally Tough Athletes<\/strong><\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.peaksports.com\/sports-psychology-blog\/how-to-grow-competition-confidence\/\"><\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/www.peaksports.com\/sports-psychology-blog\/how-athletes-can-be-mentally-tough\/\"><strong>How Athletes Can Be Mentally Tough<\/strong><\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.peaksports.com\/sports-psychology-blog\/mentally-tough-athletes-do-this-in-competition\/\"><strong>Mentally Tough Athletes Do This In Competition<\/strong><\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-normal-font-size\" id=\"block-5726d13f-f715-4ca4-8813-2f8a9ebd8bc3\">*Subscribe to\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/podcasts.apple.com\/us\/podcast\/sports-psychology-podcast-by-peaksports-com\/id152566009\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong>The Sports Psychology Podcast<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0on iTunes<br>*Subscribe to <a href=\"https:\/\/open.spotify.com\/show\/0ynyaalKxbnNmsoeL8gF5X?si=8224669de9b3435b\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong>The Sports Psychology Podcast<\/strong><\/a> on Spotify<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-normal-font-size\" id=\"block-281f5afb-980b-4c71-9aa0-11d606b5f7c9\"><strong>Download a&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.peaksports.com\/mental-toughness-report-athletes\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">free sports psychology report<\/a>&nbsp;to improve your mental game!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-normal-font-size\" id=\"block-94138e75-d591-4645-bb1d-212cf57a8841\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.peaksports.com\/sport-psychology-training-athletes\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Learn more about our one-on-one mental game coaching.<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-css-opacity is-style-dots\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_Confident_Athlete\"><\/span>The Confident Athlete <span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"alignright size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"225\" height=\"250\" src=\"https:\/\/www.peaksports.com\/sports-psychology-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/confident-athlete-audio250.jpg\" alt=\"The Confident Athlete Audio\" class=\"wp-image-16347\" style=\"width:198px;height:auto\"\/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>\u201cThe Confident Athlete\u201d consists of 2 audio programs that include 14 days of confidence fueling exercises and a simple to follow workbook that guides you through the 14 days, helps you apply the strategies, and customizes the exercises to your personal needs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Let me help you put a <strong>stop to the confidence leak<\/strong>.
