Coach's Corner

“It never ceases to surprise me at the infinite capacity of the human mind to resist the introduction of useful knowledge.”
- Thomas Raynesford Lounsbury

TRUE TOUGHNESS DEFINED

5/14/2017

I’ve witnessed first hand what makes the BEST the BEST.
And what is it? It is the mindset, rituals, habits and discipline they have during unseen hours.
It is True Toughness.
True Toughness is the ability to handle physical, mental and emotional stress with poise,
grit and confidence.
True Toughness is when you train your mind, body and emotions to be flexible, responsive
and resilient.
True Toughness is doing what’s right - not what’s easy or convenient. Talent is simply
your potential.
True Toughness is a skill that can be improved and developed through proper training.
True Toughness has nothing to do with being ruthless, callous or insensitive. That’s fake-tough.
True Toughness is the ability to consistently make the best of every situation regardless
of circumstances.
True Toughness is the key to happiness and success.
The #1 reason people fail to reach their dreams is because they lack True Toughness.
Truly Tough people ‘show up’ every day eager to improve… even the days they don’t feel like it.
Truly Tough people hate losing but are not shaken by it.
Truly Tough people enjoy winning but are never satisfied by it.
For the Truly Tough, success is not a goal, it is a destination.
The goal is to be better than yesterday. Anybody can talk. And most do.

But very few are Truly Tough.
