The book contains a model of ''mental toughness'' that has been road-tested extensively with successive cricket and Olympic teams as well as the corporate market (Coca Cola and Deutsche Bank to name but two). Mental toughness is a mis-understood area that has not been examined in enough rigorous detail. This book breaks down the art of mental toughness into 4 key but contrasting areas:
CRITICAL MOMENT TOUGHNESS
Holding your nerve under extreme pressure at key moments of performance
MENTAL ENDURANCE TOUGHNESS
Peak sustained performance over a prolonged period
RISK MANAGEMENT TOUGHNESS
Identifying the right time to take risks and executing them properly
BATTLE COMPOSURE TOUGHNESS
Welcoming competition and rising to the challenge every time
