What does "mental strength" actually mean?

What does "mental strength" actually mean? - Part 2

Mental strength also means to keep going - until the last shot on the last hole! Jack Nicklaus is a shining example of this. Regardless of the outcome of the tournament, he finished almost every round with a birdie. This enabled him to always leave the course with a positive feeling and carry this over into the next game.

How we behave in golf often reflects our behaviour in other areas of life. Are you the type to let a single failure get you down? Are there similar situations in your professional or private life? Observe yourself and try to recognise patterns that you can then address in your game and in your life.

Whether you are a brooder, thinker, player, tactician, shy, fast starter, questioner or have a completely different personality, it will all be reflected in your game. And that's a good thing! It is not the coach's job to change or distort this individuality. A person's personality is always in the foreground and you should recognise and use your own strengths.
