Gucciardi and colleagues (2015) argued that “the consistent demonstration of salient behaviors across various situations or time points” (p. 68) is one way of operationalizing the reputation of one being mentally tough. They conducted a study in which tennis coaches and players were asked to generate mentally tough behaviors. Their results showed that working hard no matter which setbacks are encountered, perform the best of their ability no matter how the athlete is feeling, refusing to give up when things get tough, fighting for every point and being a good decision-maker were some of behaviors indicated by coaches and players that reflect mental toughness (cf. Gucciardi et al., 2015). Considering the impact of pre-performance routines on helping players to remain positive and deal positively with errors, we argue that these routines will help tennis players to maintain their focus on task-relevant cues and, therefore, facilitate a state of mental toughness which, in turn, leads to a better performance.
