Abstract
Mental toughness in athletes is a difficult concept to explain but essential for long-term success in sport. Fostering mental toughness requires both physical and mental challenges. In sport, this is most often executed during practice sessions. This article defines the concept of mental toughness and provides ideas on the role of coaches in establishing mental toughness in their athletes.
