“It’s better to hit the wrong note confidently, than hit the right note unconfidently. Never be afraid to be wrong or to embarrass yourself; we are all students in this life, and there is always something more to learn.” – Lodewijk van Beethoven

Mental Strength’s Assessment
The Mental Strength’s assessment is an online measure that evaluates athletes on five essential mental abilities related to peak performance: (1) Drive, (2) Attitudes, (3) Focus, (4) Self-Regulation, (5) Mental Skills. The measure provides scores on 30 subscales related to these essential mental strengths. The measure has been taken by more than 5,000 athletes and has been used by many sport psychologist and coaches. Each athlete who takes the Mental Strength’s assessment is given a report that compares her/him to an elite sample of athletes (Division I, Full Scholarship, Uninjured College Athletes, Olympic Athletes, and Professional Athletes). Athletes and coaches can quickly see areas of strength and areas for improvements in their athletes and design better mental training programs to improve performance.
