What defines mental toughness?

Coach Dave Pietramala of the John’s Hopkins Univeristy Men’s Lacrosse team shares his insight in a recent interview:

“Any endeavor is more mental than physical even in the sport of lacrosse.”

“You must be mentally alert and have the ability to adjust and adapt to changing circumstances”

“Complacency is the enemy.”

“Focus on the things it takes to be champions, not the championship.”

“Believe you will win.”

“Attention to detail is key.”

“Embrace the pressure.”
