• Mental toughness and athletes' use of psychological strategies (2010, methodology): “…and performance (Gould et al., 2002), and evidence to suggest psychological skills training can lead to increases in self-reported mental toughness (Sheard & Golby, 2006), a positive relationship between mental toughness and use of psychological strategies in both practice and competition was…”
• An empirical examination comparing the Mindfulness-Acceptance-Commitment approach and Psychological Skills Training for the mental health and sport performance of female student athletes (2016, background): “However, a few studies have suggested that athletes can transfer the skills they have learned in PST training into their everyday lives (Gilbert et al., 2008; Horn, Gilbert, Gilbert, & Lewis, 2011; Sheard & Golby, 2006).”
• Evaluation of a Mental Toughness Training Program for Youth-Aged Australian Footballers: I. A Quantitative Analysis (2009, background): “…examining the effectiveness of PST programs has focused either on single psychological skill approaches (e.g., Johnson, Hrycaiko, Johnson, & Halas, 2004; Mellalieu, Hanton, & O’Brien, 2006) or multi-modal packages (e.g., Fournier, Calmels, Durand-Bush, & Salmela, 2005; Sheard & Golby, 2006).”
• Mental Qualities and Employed Mental Techniques of Young Elite Team Sport Athletes (2010, background): “The common failure to provide outcome measures relating to athlete well-being (e.g., see Sheard & Golby, 2006 for an exception) and personal growth and development when evaluating the effectiveness of MST programs with young competitors is therefore perplexing.”
• Mental toughness in education: exploring relationships with attainment, attendance, behaviour and peer relationships (2015, unknown): “For example, Sheard and Golby (2006) evaluated the effects of a seven-week programme consisting of goal setting, visualisation, relaxation, 4 concentration and thought-stopping skills.”
• Progress Toward Construct Validation of the Sports Mental Toughness Questionnaire (SMTQ) (2009, background): “Studies have revealed relationships, but conceptual distinctions, between mental toughness and hardiness (e.g., Golby, Sheard, & Lavallee, 2003), optimism (e.g., Nicholls, Polman, Levy, & Backhouse, 2008), and positive affectivity (Sheard & Golby, 2006a).”
• Developing Mental Toughness: From Research to Practice (2011, background): “While there is some evidence that mental skills training can lead to increases in self-reported mental toughness ( Gucciardi, Gordon, & Dimmock, 2009 ; Sheard & Golby, 2006 ), others have questioned the validity of such approaches.”
