{{Cquote|Mental toughness is a term that has been long talked about but often misunderstood. Fortunately, in the past 12 years, researchers have begun to study this phenomenon. Although there are differences among researchers, mental toughness appears to contain four critical attributes including [[motivation]], coping with pressure, [[concentration]], and confidence. In terms of developing mental toughness, one way to approach its development is to consider that it is sometimes taught and sometimes caught. Teaching mental toughness involves a deliberate attempt to train specific mental skills (e.g., goal setting, relaxation, focus) whereas sometimes mental toughness is simply caught due to environmental influences (e.g, having a sibling how was older but pushed you to be more competitive and to continually strive to improve). The paper concludes with some suggestions for future research including focusing on the early development of mental toughness as well as developing interventions to test the effectiveness of mental toughness training.<ref>[https://www.scielo.br/j/refuem/a/3SbXyGtTpxjcjxrsBqcFmdv/ ''Mental toughness: what is it and how to build it''], Revista da Educação Física, UEM 24 (1) • Mar 2013 (Published at Sci Elo Brazil website, Original language, Journal: Revista da Educação Física/UEM, Journal article name: Força mental: o que é e como construí-la, [https://www.researchgate.net/publication/262665458_Mental_toughness_What_is_it_and_how_to_build_it ResearchGate abstract]</ref>}}
