Mental toughness....this is very difficult to teach. Some people are naturally tough, some aren't. My theory is that players who are naturally mentally tough are generally confident people off the court, too. Confidence is something you can't buy, but you can learn. You just have to work on it, constantly.
One of the best ways to become a more confident player is to always practice your weaknesses in clinic and in friendlies. Before you know it, you'll have more resources to draw from in a match.
Remember play to your strength, practice your weaknesses and you will become mentally strong!
