Vonn is the most successful American woman skier - ever. And Shaun White - another amazing athlete. And there's moguls Gold medalist Hannah Kearney who recovered from knee injury and concussion to take the World Cup moguls title in 2009. And a mention of half-pipe Gold medalist Torah Bright who - while not American - is as tough as they come. Thank you for writing a piece lauding the qualities of a great athlete.

Do male and female coaches understand and teach mental toughness the same? And, does that change depending on who they are coaching (girls/boys, team/individual, sport type, competitive/recreational, etc)? Would love to hear your thoughts.
