Original: Elite athletes require mental toughness. Here's what that actually means https://www. nytimes.com/athletic/7689571/2 026
A new piece in The Athletic and the New York Times examines what mental toughness actually means for elite athletes, arguing the term is often misunderstood.

Why now: Readers are interested in how psychological resilience differs across sports and what it takes for athletes to perform under pressure.
