In sport, top athletes have long recognised that Mental Toughness is the secret ingredient that makes the difference between winning and losing. It is now recognised as fundamental to success in all walks of life.

Mental Toughness determines how you respond to stresses, challenges and pressures, irrespective of the prevailing situation. It is a personality trait which can be learned. Mental Toughness is partly about reslience, or bounce-back-ability, which is the capacity to recover quickly from difficulties. It is also more than resilience, including confidence, determination, or grit, and a sense that we can control or make a difference to outcomes, whatever the external circumstances. Mental Toughness is all about how we percieve the stressors, challenges and pressures we experience in our life, work and sport, and whether we can respond positively and see the opportunities rather than threats. Mental Toughness is the secret ingredient that makes the difference between one person succeeding and another person struggling in the same situation, in all walks of life and work, as well as in sport.

Mental Toughness is not about being macho, domineering or aggressive.

Mental Toughness IS about being:

• The best you can be
• Comfortable in your own skin
• Accepting that life can be difficult but that it is full of opportunities as well as threats

Mental Toughness is made up of different components, which makes it very difficult to know how to develop it, even though you can recognise it in people who do have it. Which is why it has been considered "the secret ingredient".

Now you can use the MTQ48 Mental Toughness Questionnaire to measure your level of Mental Toughness and measure four vital categories: Commitment, Challenge, Control and Confidence. Now you can know which one area to focus on first to have greatest effect to raise your mental toughness overall and raise your performance overall - in all areas of life.

People with higher mental toughness:

• Do better in exams.
• Do better at work and are more likely to be promoted: managers and leaders have higher levels of mental toughness than the overall population
• Do better in sports, whether they are individual sports like golf or team games like rugby.
• Feel confident in themselves and their abilities.
• Feel confident with other poeple
• Feel in control of their life and that what they do can make a difference to outcomes in their life.
• Are better able to do what it takes to get things done.
• Stay calm, focused and in control when under pressure.
• Find an extra level of performance in a 'must win' situation.
• Thrive on dealing with tough situations. They not only cope with but also enjoy the pressures and challenges such as competition, deadlines, and the time, commitment and dedication required for doing it including all the continual preparation, training and learning. This applies in all areas of life, such as in education, in work, running your own business, working in emergency services, or for your sport.
