Mental Toughness Trait Or State A Case Of Female, Ncaa Division I Soccer Players, Cece Rivera, Grant Morgan, Jeff S. Forsse, Andreas Stamatis
International Journal of Exercise Science: Conference Proceedings
The importance of mental toughness (MT) in sport settings is well recognized. However, there is an ongoing debate on whether MT is a state or a trait. Recent findings supports the notion that, although there is considerable stability, MT levels could fluctuate over time. Undoubtedly, this has implications over the likelihood of developing MT and its conceptualization. PURPOSE: To examine whether MT levels fluctuate significantly or are relatively stable over time. METHODS: All 30 players of the same Atlantic 10 women’s soccer team agreed to participate (Mage= 20.3, SD=1.7). The Mental Toughness Index (MTI) …

Over the past two decades, mental toughness (MT) has become one of the most popular concepts in the field of positive psychology and more particularly, in both basic and applied sport psychology. However, the dependence on arbitrary metrics remains one of the major disapprovals of MT research as a whole. Although recently relationships of MT and objective performance indicators have been investigated (e.g., race time), arbitrary metrics still appear inadequate to support answers when it comes to the actual meaning and practicality of self-reported MT scores. Multi-rating, via cross-verification from various sources, can increase the validation of scores of …

Xiv Men’S Volleyball Pan American Cup: Team Mental Toughness Correlates Perfectly With Final Placement, Marieke Van Der Mark, Pedro Flores, Lenin Barajas, Ciria Salazar, Grant Morgan, Jeffrey Forsse, Andreas Stamatis
International Journal of Exercise Science: Conference Proceedings
Mental toughness (MT) has been associated with competitive and non-competitive performance indicators in sport. On average, mentally tougher participants tend to be more successful. However, even in team-sport research, team MT is often disregarded over individual MT measurements. Results in team settings are trivial on whether team MT is related to athletic achievement/competitive performance. Volleyball is under-investigated in the applied MT literature. PURPOSE: To explore the relationship between team MT levels and competitive performance in volleyball. METHODS: Five national volleyball teams (i.e., Cuba, Mexico, Suriname, Dominican Republic, USA) were recruited during the XIV Men’s Pan American Cup ( …
