Research Study Title: Mental Toughness and Injury Rehabilitation Behaviours in Elite Youth Sport in Canada
Study Overview & Significance of the Research:
Athlete Mental Toughness is a recognized and valued quality in sporting communities, yet our understanding of this construct remains incomplete. There is a significant knowledge gap particularly in the context of elite youth sport. This study will provide evidence about the role between elite athletes’ mental toughness and their injury recovery behaviours.
