Another noteworthy first from last season was Diana Taurasi’s first WNBA championship with the Pheonix Mercury. As one of only 6 female athletes to win an NCAA championship, Olympic gold, and a WNBA championship, the former collegiate player of the year and perennial WNBA All Star added to her growing legend as one of the toughest and most talented athletes in the game today. However, despite her many gifts, Diana has continued to work, grow and improve throughout her high school, collegiate and professional career, committing to continuous improvement of both her physical AND mental skills. And this is the important thing to remember about developing the mental toughness necessary to win championships. Each athlete must recognize the importance of fully committing to the process of developing mental toughness – a predictor of championship success as real and tangible as outstanding defense and rebounding.
