Comprehensive Content Overview:
Mental skills are cognitive, emotional, and behavioral abilities that help individuals achieve performance excellence. These skills include focus, resilience, motivation, confidence, and stress management. Quantitatively measuring their effectiveness involves structured assessments and data analysis to determine their impact on performance outcomes.
