Mentally Tough

You Perform Well Under Pressure, But There’s Another Level

Right now, your score shows you’re in the Mentally Tough range, which means you’ve (most likely) built a strong foundation already.

You know how to show up when it matters, and you’ve likely developed some habits like breath control, routines, or visualisation that help you stay focused when things get stressful.

Overall, you’re maybe even doing better than most.

But, at the same time, there’s probably a reason you took this MT assessment.

You want to do better.

You’re looking for something more, more consistency, more control, more ways to deliver on the work you’ve already put in.

But,

Here’s the truth:

Being mentally tough isn’t just about being able to push through when it matters, although that is crucial...

It’s also about knowing when you’re starting to slip and having tools to stop it BEFORE you slip completely and you choke mid-performance.

It’s about recognising early signs of frustration, distraction, or hesitation and having a plan, not just hope, for what to do next.

Being mentally tough at this current level might mean you notice things like:

• Competing well, but sometimes fading mid-game

• Feeling sharp, then losing focus after one mistake

• Knowing your routine works, but not always doing it under pressure

• Recovering, but slower than you’d like

That doesn’t mean something’s wrong; it simply means you’ve hit the part where many high-level athletes either plateau or refine.

At this stage, improvement isn't about working harder.

It’s about becoming more precise with how you prepare and how you respond when things go sideways, when you need to perform well.

And that’s where mental routines come in.

And I can help with that.

I’ve created a short resource specifically for athletes like you — those who are already performing well but want to compete more deliberately.

I call it 🧠 Sharpen the Edge: 3 Game-Day Routines to Perform Under Pressure, which is a mini-guide + printable routine template.

It is...

• Three easy-to-adapt routines used by some elite athletes and coaches

• Designed to help you stay calm, reset quickly, and deliver consistently

• A printable template to build your own repeatable game-day plan

From what your score shows, it seems you already have some mental toughness.

Now it’s about structure, timing, and knowing exactly what your mind needs before the pressure hits.

Start sharpening that part now, and make high-pressure performances feel more like second nature.

So, if you think this guide can be helpful, go ahead and

Score: 56–95

This athlete typically:

• Performs well under pressure, but not always consistently

• Has routines or strategies that work, but don’t always get used at the right time

• Can recover from setbacks, but may lose focus or confidence mid-performance

• Has mental strength, but often lacks the structure to apply it precisely when it’s needed

That could mean...
