Mental Toughness & the Long Game
Mental toughness beats physical gifts over time, every time. No doubt that Michael Jordan and Tiger Woods have phenomenal, freak-like athletic skills but what makes them such scary competitors, according to the guys who played against them, is their mental toughness and tunnel-vision ability to gut it out longer than the other guy. Encourage this mindset in your student-athlete - developing a mental edge and the drive to outlast the competition.
