These two demands not only have an impact on the physical aspect but also affect the psychological aspect of the athlete. These problems can have an impact on athlete performance and can also affect athlete performance. The psychological aspect that is important to develop to deal with problems in student athletes is mental toughness. This study aims to determine the effect of self-awareness training on mental toughness in student athletes.
