Abstract Details

2006, Masters in Education, Marietta College, Education.
Athletes and coaches around the world strive daily for success in sport. There is a never-ending search for knowledge about what gives athletes and teams that certain edge to overcome the competition and reach their full potential. Mental toughness is often included in discussions related to traits of a successful performer. Some sport professionals believe that the mental part of athletics is the hardest to train. The purpose of this study was to explore athletes’ and coaches’ views and attitudes about mental toughness. The researcher conducted interviews with coaches and student-athletes from a variety of athletic programs at Marietta College, a NCAA Division III Institution in Southeastern Ohio.
