Shaping Toughness

This week Catalyst Athletics Greg Everett [@CatalystAthletics] joins us to discuss his new book, TOUGH.  While Greg is not a new guest to the show, he is bringing some fresh insight on a topic that is gaining momentum in the growth mindset realm. Here’s how he lays it out: Toughness is defined by four interdependent elements: Character—who are you and are you secure in your identity? Capability—what are you able to do? Capacity—what are you able to withstand? And Commitment—what are you willing to do?

What makes someone tough? Is it a relentlessly difficult upbringing? A certain sport or coach? How about physical hardship? While these things may contribute to toughness, Greg Everett believes that those stimuli are just vehicles for exposing one’s character, capability, capacity, and commitment. Better known for his founding of Catalyst Athletics [@CatalystAthletics]and coaching renowned Olympic Weightlifters, Greg is the author of “Tough: Building True Mental, Physical, and Emotional Toughness for Success & Fulfillment”. That’s a pretty tall order but with actionable steps provided, Greg believes most are up to the challenge.
