[Practical Workshop] Building Your Mental Toughness: A Personal Map and Challenge Ladder

On Tuesday, we talked about what mental toughness actually is and how it develops through facing challenging situations.
Today, we’re going to figure out where your mental toughness is already strong, where it needs work, and create a personalized plan to build it.
This isn’t a one-size-fits-all approach. Your mental toughness profile is different from your teammate’s. You might crush it in some areas and struggle in others. That’s completely normal, and what we actually expect to see.
The goal is to get honest about where you are right now, then deliberately work on the areas that need attention.
Let’s get into it.
Part 1: Your Mental Toughness Map
Grab a journal, notes app, or whatever you use to write things down. We’re going to map out your current mental toughness landscape.
