Mental Toughness Questionnaire
Control

Challenge
Goal: Measure how students perceive and approach challenges.
How do you perceive challenging situations—do you see them as threats or opportunities?- Example: "I see tough games or opponents as opportunities to test and improve my skills."

Confidence
Goal: Assess students' belief in their abilities and their interpersonal confidence.
How confident are you in your abilities to perform well in games?- Example: "I believe in my skills and know I can perform well under pressure."

- Example: "Even in high-pressure moments, I rarely doubt my ability to succeed."
- Scale: 1 (Always) to 5 (Never)
Step 2: Scoring the Questionnaire
- Scoring Method: Likert scale: 1 is the least favorable response and 5 is the most favorable.
- Interpreting Scores:
- High Scores (4-5): Indicates strength in that area of mental toughness.
- Medium Scores (3): Suggests an average level, with room for improvement.
- Low Scores (1-2): Highlights a potential area of weakness that should be addressed.
Step 3: Reflect and Improve
