Mental Toughness / New Blogger

Dan Robinson has a new article about mental toughness up at Warriors Haka. An excerpt:

One of the reasons the ’99 season has such a special place in my memory is because we had a bunch of mentally tough players who put it all on the line, each and every game.

Of course, we had plenty of physically tough players like Tony Tuioti, but we also had a bunch of mentally tough players like Nate Jackson, Afatia Thompson and Daniel Ho-Ching. These guys were all mentally and physically tough, both on and off the field. Daniel was a cancer survivor. Nate grew up in a ghetto and overcame amazing odds. Afatia’s brother died. The toughness of these players could not be coached. They all had that special intangible that you only wished you could bottle and force the lazy, casual players to drink.

And my friend, who recently got keys to the blog, might be posting something sometime soon. But he's been very busy, probably a lot busier than me. He's a huge fan and I think he'll provide a unique perspective and give the blog a little more flavah. Hopefully he'll have some free time soon, or at least by the start of the season.
