I have written a paragraph below that you are welcome to use about developing MT with self-talk.

The study below shows how mental toughness can be fostered in athletes through intentional self-talk. The individual's predetermined certain words that would recall later while performing. This process improved mental toughness (as measured by the mental toughness index) and their overall performance during their run. This makes sense as while being challenged its likely people experience significant self-talk through doubt. The strategy above likely interrupts this process allowing the individual to focus on their momentary performance. Increasing their self-efficacy and ability to persevere through pain.

Hey! I found an article on mental toughness which may be helpful. It includes a great definition and also includes a section about measuring mental toughness which may be of benefit. It would also be interesting to add in a case study example of mental toughness in sport using a famous athlete as the example! https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/abs/10.1080/1612197X.2007.9671836?casa_token=DT_APqwiL-IAAAAA:_QDCTIzQZL_h2Exi6ZI6m6kYA-vq3gyPuePOqKFG9xuoGrK_QSOiN0i7ZW7VoGkaN4g_RRlAwY_E-w --Taylor Mamukic (discuss • contribs) 00:46, 11 October 2020 (UTC)

Formatting of references and figures
Hello, your chapter is looking great! Just a few things I picked up on:

1. Be careful of your spacing for your referencing. For example it should be "Adam was the greatest scientist of all time" (Eve, 2013, p. 123). You need a space at the end of the sentence and the start of the brackets, and between the commmas rather than ""Adam was the greatest scientist of all time"(Eve,2013,p. 123)

2. Make sure if you have figures that you refer to them in your chapter (see Figure 1).

However, your chapter is looking good, hope this has been helpful.
