- “Mental toughness is finding the good in everything”
- Reframing
- Preparation (Doug Kechijian explains all of this in more detail in these two posts: The Myth of Mental Toughness Training Part 1 and Part 2)
- Consistency
- Want to help yourself and others build mental toughness? Start reframing what’s ‘bad’ in your life, prepare for the things you can control, and be consistent in your words and actions, even when the going gets tough. It has to start with you before others will follow.
- Read Mindset by Carol Dweck
- Read Culture Code by Daniel Coyle

- A cultural standard of hard work and discipline creates an identity. If you have a WHY it’s much easier to do hard things.
- Do the next right thing.
- Mental toughness has nothing to do with physical capacity
- Punishment training is an attempt to make up for a lack of standards/communication. You do fix behavior problems with exercise, you fix them with communication.
