Mental toughness determines a person's stress response. It's intimately linked to a person's character, resilience, tenacity, and perseverance, and it defines how they behave when under duress. Professor Peter Clough, who pioneered mental toughness studies, defined mentally tough as someone who appreciates a challenge.

A tough person is able to maintain composure in difficult situations. These people can overcome hardship, see obstacles as opportunities, and remain positive. Mentally tough people aren't always resilient, despite appearances. You'll need mental fortitude to accept losses and disappointments, then drive and effort to overcome them. Many ways exist to build mental toughness.

One can develop toughness in numerous ways. Strong-willed people don't let others' opinions or their circumstances shape them. Instead, mental sensations and thoughts govern people's actions. "Locus of control" describes a person's internal control center. Mentally robust athletes can perform better under severe competition situations.

Mental toughness can be developed in demanding and unimportant ways. We must work to enhance our toughness. If we can't stay calm under difficult situations, we'll collapse. Instead of giving up, we should follow the challenging way, ask more questions, and face life's obstacles with courage. All of this effort will pay off.

Mental toughness requires the ability to tell oneself "no." Negative people attract negative situations. Positive speakers attract positive surroundings. Positivity can help you feel self-confident and capable of attaining your goals. Sportsmanship and self-confidence also improve. If you want to be a professional athlete, don't let negative views affect you.


Weightlifting can improve one's fitness by pushing them beyond their present limits. One benefit is enhanced energy control and faster recovery. Tough skin indicates a healthy, fit body, but it also shows how important it is to be nice to oneself when weary. Developing physical toughness requires intense outdoor or gym activity with challenging equipment. Start by increasing your workout time while maintaining intensity.

Mental toughness can be built through delaying gratification and waiting patiently for success. You may have expected nothing spectacular to happen in one night. You must learn to delay gratification and accept that goal-setting takes time. Toughness needs patience and the ability to tell oneself they're not good enough.
