You CANNOT give up in Gymnastics, persistence is EVERYTHING! Mental toughness is the ability to focus, blocking out everything around you and doing what you've trained to do. The crowd, the multiple other events going on around you at the same time, the nerves, the risk of injury - and gymnasts MUST be able to block all of this out to perform their best, and they do!
