What is mental toughness?
Start your week with a lesson on how you can teach yourself to thrive under pressure, a vital skill for life and poker.
We don't believe that watching a motivational video will suddenly make you a great poker player, consistent good habits and a commitment to learning will. However, it is undeniable that a short term boost of inspiration can start a positive snowball effect.
Every Monday morning at SpinLegends we share a 'Monday Motivation' video to get our players in the right frame of mind. Whether it's poker, chess, sport, business or study, the lessons are always universal, so we want to get you pumped in the same way.
Today's video is all about mental toughness. Why is it that some people are able to push through during high stress, challenging moments and difficult times, while others seem to crumble under the pressure?
The important lesson today is that mental toughness is a learned trait and no matter where you are right now, it is something that can be improved. Perhaps the most significant finding of all is that your attitude to challenge can become a self-fulfilling prophecy, if you think you can do it, you might able to, if you don't think you can, you are probably right. This is not about blindly believing something that isn't true because that is very dangerous in poker, but if you are taking a shot at that next stake then you have to have enough confidence to give it a go in the first place.
