Jim Courier, Arantxa Sánchez-Vicario and Michael Chang on Mastering Mental Toughness

Patrick McEnroe and Chris Bowers explore the vital quality of mental toughness with three of tennis' toughest competitors: Hall of Famers Jim Courier, Arantxa Sánchez Vicario, and Michael Chang.

Former World No. 1 and 4-time major champion Jim Courier defines mental toughness as the ability to handle pressure and the capacity to compartmentalize and ignore the score, citing Rafael Nadal as a prime example. Arantxa Sánchez-Vicario, former world No. 1 in singles and doubles, emphasizes the importance of her strong physical condition and the desire to give my best and never give up.

Chris Bowers then looks at Michael Chang’s legendary 1989 French Open run, where he overcame extreme cramping and Ivan Lendl by refusing to be a quitter, demonstrating the unwavering mindset needed to win. Learn whether mental toughness is innate or can be developed, and how it separates the top players.
