How to Develop Mental Toughness

Is mental toughness inherent? Or, can it be developed?

I asked this — along with many other questions — of 5x Olympic gold medalist Bonnie Blair. If anyone knows about mental toughness, it ought to be one of the most decorated Olympic athletes of all time, right?

Additionally, we discuss:

• Why competing against yourself can be more productive than competing against others
• How to deal with feelings of Imposter Syndrome in business and sports
• How to focus on the positive instead of the negative during tough times
