Meditation for Athletes
Play in the now
Meditation offers a way to train our mind to live and compete in the present. It helps us cultivate three major benefits that improve our performance and well-being.
Clarity, Stability and Strength
Clarity allows us to be an outside observer of our surroundings.
It helps us see what adjustments we need to make to succeed. It prevents us from letting our ego & emotions dictate our decision-making.
Stability keeps us from falling off the roller-coaster of competition.
Science shows that meditation can re-shape the brain, including making the amygdala (the fear center) smaller. This helps us manage our nerves and stay poised under pressure, allowing us to keep our focus on the present.
Strength in our mind helps build peak concentration.
Physical endurance does not matter if you don’t have mental endurance. Outlast your opponents by increasing the duration of your focus. Develop resilience to better handle adversity.
