Meditation for Athletes
Why we started bmindful
Meditation offers a way to bring our attention to the present. It also helps us cultivate three big things 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.
Your physical endurance doesn’t even matter if you don’t have mental endurance. Outlast your opponents by increasing the duration of your focus. Develop resilience to better handle adversity.
