Mental toughness has been consistently presented in the literature as one of the most important contributors to enhance sports performance (e.g. Golby & Sheard, 2004; Gould, Dieffenbach, & Moffett, 2002; Gucciardi & Gordon, 2009; Jones, Hanton, & Connaughton, 2002). Jones and colleagues (2002) defined mental toughness as “the natural or developed psychological edge that enables you to generally cope better than your opponents with the many demands that sport places on a performer. Specifically, be more consistent and better than your opponents in remaining determined, focused, confident, and in control under pressure” (p. 209).
