Abstract The purpose of the study was to investigate the mental toughness of international Badminton players from different countries. The study was restricted to 42 international badminton players from different countries. All were international level players from various countries i.e. India, Denmark, Russia, Malaysia, Indonesia and Thailand. The data collected of mental toughness of international badminton players from Yonex - Sunrise India Open 1-6 April 2014 and mental toughness was assessed with help of Alan Goldberg’s questionnaire of mental toughness . In order to computed data one- way analysis was employed, the level of significance was chosen at 0.05. The result from the data revealed that there was not significant difference in mental toughness of international players from different countries. This might be due to their lack of interest and seriousness to play in competition.
