Abstract
Following the screening model 431 players, who were playing at the development leagues selected for this study. To collect the data one-on-one interviews from the participant football players were taken. The personal information form and the Sports Mental Toughness Questionnaire (SMTQ) were used as research tools. As a result, there was a statistically significant difference concerning the control sub-dimension of the mental toughness for the league and championship experience variables was evidenced. Following the club variable, a statistically significant difference between the general mean scores of the mental toughness and control/ continuity sub-dimensions of mental toughness was found. As per the position variable, no significant difference was observed in mental toughness levels.
