Reboundability
Reboundability is your skill at mentally bouncing back from setbacks and mistakes. Mental toughness depends on your ability to quickly leave your mistakes and failures behind you. Hanging onto your mistakes will get you into big trouble, performance-wise. Athletes who dwell on their mistakes while the competition continues, end up making more.

Pressure
Without the ability to stay calm in the clutch, an athlete will always underachieve. Peak performance demands that you are relaxed once the performance begins. While a little nervousness is critical for getting "up" for a game/match/race and performing at your best, ("good nervousness") too much nerves ("bad nervousness") will tighten your muscles and send your performance down the tubes.
Pressure Score
Need more work on your ability to stay calm under pressure by learning to better control your pre-performance focus and learning specific relaxation techniques.

Concentration
In every sport, your ability to focus on what's important and block out everything else is one of the primary keys to performance excellence. Poor concentration is the major reason why athletes choke and get stuck in performance slumps. Getting psyched out or intimidated is a direct result of concentrating on the wrong things.

Confidence
One characteristic of the mentally tough athlete is he/she possesses a confidence level that seems to be unshaken by setbacks and failures. Under the pressure of competition, low confidence will neutralize natural ability, hard work and talent. Similarly, high confidence will enhance an athlete's training and God-given talents, lifting their performance to the next level.
Confidence Score
Need to work on your self-confidence and ability to control your focus of concentration.

Motivation
Motivation is the fuel that will drive your training to a successful completion and the accomplishment of your goals. Without adequate motivation athletes get stuck having "permanent potential." Without motivation you won't put in the work necessary to become a winner. Your motivation allows you to pick yourself up after a setback and keep going.

Need to discover your personal reason for training and competing.
