Mental Toughness Is a Myth

"Mental Toughness" is a term I hardly ever use, on purpose. I think it is misunderstood and spun out of control, commoditized and pumped out to the masses in a misleading way. Frankly, I have tried to avoid association with it because what I believe it is and what I see it being promoted as are often at odds with each other. I've been in the 'mental toughness' space for a while, keeping my eyes and ears open and my mouth shut, sometimes painfully. I will no longer remain quiet about mental toughness. Here are my thoughts and opinions on the topic.
