She emphasizes the importance of mental training, likening it to physical training, and advocates for the normalization of mental skills such as visualization and productive self-talk. McCauley argues that mental toughness is a skill that requires practice and coaching, and she encourages listeners to take actionable steps towards improving their mental resilience. Keywords mental training, self-doubt, success, mental toughness, visualization, self-talk, coaching, performance, athletes, personal development Takeaways You've ever looked successful on the outside but felt like you're still not doing enough. The not enough voice doesn't magically disappear when you get older. Your brain will always go back to what is comfortable, even if that comfortable thing is self-doubt. Strength training is normalized, but mental training should be too. Productive self-talk is a skill that can be trained. You need coaching and accountability for mental skills just like physical skills. This isn't about motivational speeches; it's about teaching actionable skills. We want action for our teams, not just inspiration. Mental toughness is about being trained, not just being tough. You need mental reps, just like strength training.     CONNECT with Kate McCauley:    IG https://www.instagram.com/the.champion_within    LinkedIn https://www.linkedin.com/in/kate-mccauley-danu    Book a Mental Toughness Mindset Training Appointment: https://www.champion-within.com/ Book corporate a speaking engagement or workshop on performance: https://www.kate-mccauley.com    Kate McCauley, Mental Toughness Mindset Coach In-person in Philadelphia and nationwide virtually
