The great news about mental toughness is that it can be developed.
Developing Mental Toughness generally happens by teaching you to handle stress more effectively through making fundamental changes to the way you think about problems and by teaching you the tactics and strategies that mentally tough people use.

Visualisation
Watch one of your favorite sports and your you will see the top professional athletes at the top of their game through hours and hours of practice of skills and conditioning of the mind. Visualisation has been proven by science that it can prepare the brain for high pressured situations to mitigate the risk of poor or slow decisions and the connection it has to your physiology.
Anxiety Control
Breathing exercises and relaxation techniques will enable you to deal with those panic moments when things seem out of control, producing a physiological reaction.
