key issues
There is a very strong link between mental toughness issues like stress management and peak performance development and behaviour. These are all interrelated.
The key issues around Mental Toughness for individuals are:
- What causes one person to succumb and another to thrive in the same circumstances?
- Can we identify people's strengths and weaknesses in these areas?
- Can we develop individuals to enable them to handle stressors like change, pressure and the challenge toperform more effectively?
- How can we support individuals better with their specific needs?

By understanding these issues, and applying the principles of Mental Toughness, organisations, coaches and performance psychologists are able to:
- Develop strategies and tactics to help individuals perform under pressure.
- Help managers get the best from their people.
- Recruit more effectively around these key criteria.
