137 Mindfulness and ACT in Sport: Helping Athletes Perform Better

137 Mindfulness and ACT in Sport: Helping Athletes Perform Better

In this short solo episode, I explain 5 reasons why you should look in more detail at the use of mindfulness and ACT in sport. How and why this approach goes on to free up mental space in your mind to enable you to perform better. I also summarise how Mindfulness and ACT can be used in harmony to develop a more mentally tough individual.

5 Key Benefits of Mindfulness and ACT

  1. This approach can help you become a more psychologically flexible person.
  2. It helps you gain a bigger picture perspective on life and sport, recognising that perfection does not exist and that mistakes, losses or negative experiences are inevitable.
  3. Mindfulness and ACT can help you trust your skills more.
  4. The methods help to decrease your levels of stress.
  5. Mindfulness and ACT can safeguard you against being bullied.
