Description
Top-tier athletes are accustomed to endure challenges that often make or break their success. They are the individuals that overcome obstacles and are driven over the long-term because they have passion, perseverance, and a clear understanding of what they want to accomplish. This study examines contributing factors of grit among 15 elite athletes in various professional sport domains (e.g., NFL, CFL, WNBA, Olympics, Paralympics, and Rugby) to determine if grit can be developed.
