In this episode of the Warrior Mind Podcast I interview one of the leading experts in mental toughness, Doug Strycharczyk.  Doug is going to go over the component of mental toughness.

What is Mental Toughness?

Mental Toughness describes the mind-set that every person adopts in everything they do. It is closely related to qualities such as character, resilience, grit, etc. The MTQ48 measures these qualities.

Most psychometrics focus on the measurement of behaviors (how we act) and attributes (how we feel) – mental toughness looks at how we think which is a key driver for the development of behavior and attributes

Research carried out under the direction of Professor Peter Clough of Manchester Metropolitan University has identified the four key components of Mental Toughness. These are called the 4 Cs.

Can we develop Mental Toughness?

Instinctively the answer is “we can”. Sports psychologists and sports coaches would argue that they have been doing this for many years with significant evidence of success.

More practically, the answer still appears to be “yes we can”.

One key question is “are we changing someone’s mental toughness or can we simply equip someone with tools and techniques that enable them to behave as a mentally tough person might behave”.

The answer appears to be that, where the individual wants to change or develop it is possible to change one’s core mental toughness. We are not suggesting that anyone must develop their mental toughness. For those who see a benefit in their life or their work, there may be a good reason for developing mental toughness without necessarily becoming very mentally tough. There does seem to be some valuable advantages in life and work for those who are more mentally tough than most.

The value of the model and the MTQ48 measure is that it can help to identify which aspects of one’s mental toughness are preventing or hindering them from attaining, achieving well-being or leading a more positive life. Self-awareness is the key here.
