AB Background and purposeThis study aims to evaluate the effect of providing Mental Toughness Training Circle mental training on athletes' mental toughness, performance, religiosity, anxiety, satisfaction, and happiness in life. Material and methodsThe randomized experimental design was used to evaluate Mental Toughness Training Circle. A total of 31 college-level athletes were involved and divided into two groups. Six important constructs related to athletes' psychological aspects, including  mental  toughness,  performance,  religiosity,  anxiety,  satisfaction,  and  athlete  happiness  are  measured  using  the  Mental  Toughness  Inventory,  Self-Assessment  of  Athletics  Performance,  Spirituality  in  Sports  Test,  Sports  Anxiety  Scale-2, Social Validation Questionnaire, and Satisfaction with Life Scale. ResultsThe research findings prove that the Mental Toughness Training Circle mental training program has a significant effect on athletes' mental toughness, performance, anxiety, religiosity, satisfaction, and life happiness. Apart from that, this study also shows that the application of Mental Toughness Training Circle can increase positive emotional dimensions (mental toughness, performance, religiosity, satisfaction, and happiness) and reduce negative emotions (anxiety) in athletes. ConclusionsThe implications of this study show that Mental Toughness Training Circle can be used by athletic trainers and mental coaches to improve the quality of athletes, especially in psychological or mental aspects.
