WHAT IS TOUGHNESS?

Toughness has nothing to do with size, physical strength or athleticism. When a player dishes out a hard foul trying to prevent a lay up or gets a little too physical or rough against an opponent, it doesn’t show how tough that player is, instead it shows just how out of control they are.

Toughness is a mindset. It’s refusing to be beaten to a loose ball. It’s boxing your opponent out on every shot regardless of their size. It’s making your opponent prove they have game by beating your defense. It’s looking your opponent square in the eye and daring them to try and stop you. Toughness is playing to the absolute best of your ability and win or lose, know that you gave your all in the effort.
