Mental toughness is often described as the ability to persevere and perform at a high level, regardless of circumstances. It's about maintaining focus,
determination, and a positive attitude in facing adversity, pressure, or challenges. Dr. Peter Clough, a leading researcher in this field, defines mental toughness as "the quality which determines in large part how people
deal effectively with challenge, stressors, and pressure... irrespective of prevailing circumstances."
In essence, mental toughness is your psychological armor. It's what allows you to push through when things get tough, to bounce back from setbacks, and to maintain
your composure under pressure.
