Why Learn About Mental Toughness
Mental toughness is a catch-all term that usually gets seen as an all or nothing trait. The old saying "You either got it or you don't" usually comes to most people's mind when talking about mental toughness. However, we now know that it isn't just a finite skill and it is made of a multitude of different concepts.
Everyday you have deadlines, changes of plans, goals to meet, people to fulfill and all of it is predicated on how well you perform. Your performance can be influenced by physical, psychological, financial and social stressors just to name a few.
The people who understand these concepts don't necessarily receive more success, but rather have the ability to endure struggles, find motivation and interpret challenges as a way to over come rather than fail. This lays the foundation to deal with things such as anxiety, failure, physical fitness, focus, motivation and confidence.
If you understand the foundations of mental toughness and how to interpret what it takes to manage stress, emotions and consistently perform under all kinds of conditions, you will have a better chance to utilize it in your daily life.

What is Cognitive C.O.N.D.I.T.I.O.N.I.N.G.The Cognitive C.O.N.D.I.T.I.O.N.I.N.G method is an acronym which stands for: Collectively Organizing Necessary Dimensions Intended to Target Individual Differences Optimal Performance Negative Appraisal and Inconsistent Delivery in Non-Athletic and Athletic Groups In short the overall mission is to strive for you to perform to your highest ability regardless of levels of stress, lack of resources or preparedness through heightened cognitive performance. When you look at failed performances, whether it be in sport, education, business, entertainment, tactical or even romantic/interpersonal, it is usually a lapse in one (or multiple) cognitive processes. Research has shown how different mental/cognitive processes play a role in human performance, but there has been a gap in the training of these skills in an interconnected methodology. Fields such as mental health, sport psychology and neuroscience all take approaches to a variety in issues but Cognitive C.O.N.D.I.T.I.O.N.I.N.G looks to bridge the gap with an emphasis on goal directed behavior, movement and outcomes in regard to exposure to stressors.
