Produktbeschreibung
The cycle of emotions, like few other phenomena, can significantly influence our performance in sports. For this reason, many elite athletes turn to mindfulness training as a form of training for mental strength and emotion regulation. Prominent examples include Novak Djokovic (tennis), Phil Jackson (basketball), and Malaika Mihambo (track and fields).

In recent years, the benefits of mindfulness-based training have also been discussed in the scientific community, and initial studies confirm the positive effects of its application. Overall, the conclusion can be drawn that mindfulness training works similarly to strength training: the ability to maintain concentration and regulate one's own emotions can be trained like a muscle.

This book explains, through vivid practical examples, the significance of emotions in sports, the history of mindfulness in sports, and the mechanisms of mindfulness training for athletes. The focus lies on a scientifically evaluated mindfulness program for both recreational and elite athletes, which can be done individually or in a group. The eight units of the program contain practical exercises as well as information on the background and effects of each exercise. Become your own mental coach to sustainably enhance your athletic performance.
