The 7 Fundamentals of Mental Toughness™ (an overview)

by JIm Madrid

Description

The 7 Fundamentals of Mental Toughness™ is a curriculum based on the foundations of modern cognitive science. Extensive interdisciplinary research at major universities across the country provides the theoretical and experimental foundation for cognitive science, including the disciplines of psychology, biology, neurology, computer science and others. The recent extensive involvement of scientists from these fields has led many to refer to this as a major movement in science, the “cognitive revolution.”

Much of AST’s curriculum is based on cognitive science, including modern cognitive theory of human behavior, a conceptual framework that emphasizes the importance of the mind on human behavior. Essentially, we use the principles of cognitive psychology to teach individuals and members of organizations and teams to use the skills of thought and analysis in setting and reaching goals.

The AST curriculum interprets scientific research and conveys it in a way that is easily understood by the average coach, club administrator, parent, and athlete. The 7 Fundamentals of Mental Toughness™ provided the tools necessary for achieving unprecedented record-breaking results – at home, at school, and on the field of play.
