Mental toughness Nelly korda Mental toughness is key to success! In this WHOOP “Performance

Nelly Korda points out that mental toughness is the key to a long-term success in professional sports, and the focus, resilience, and emotional control make a significant impact on the performance at the most tense moments of a competition.

She discusses in a recent WHOOP Performance talk how levels of stress and being able to stay calm can affect the output of the body, and demonstrates that mindset is often the difference between performance and technical skill.

According to Korda, elite athletes train their minds as hard as their bodies, and based on data, they learn about heart rate behavior and reactions, enabling them to remain calm and steady when it comes to competition.

Her attitude supports an idea that success is not a physical matter but rather a mental matter, reminding potential sportsmen that mental preparation, self awareness and discipline are the keys to long term success.
