Mental toughness is a cop out. I believe mental discipline
trumps so called mental toughness all the time. All the champions I have been
around had incredible mental discipline. Making someone puke in a workout or
running someone until they drop does not build mental toughness. Find out who
will do the workout when no one is there to make them do it. Find out who shows
up and brings their “A” game every day no matter what the conditions and what
the circumstances. Those are the people who have mental discipline; those are
the people I want on my team.
