Introducing a measurement of Mental Toughness

• The development of the Mental Toughness Questionnaire (MTQ48)
• How the MTQ48 has been adapted for, and is utilised, in the support of both coaches and athletes

The speaker will place the MTQ48 in a contemporary context, and in a sport specific context, giving examples of its application. Through a case study approach, delegates will be able to work through sport related issues and gain an insight of the MTQ48 in action.

Coaches must be either working towards a Level 3 qualification or hold a Level 3 qualification. It is expected that coaches will be working with county or regional athletes/players.

Refreshments will be provided.
