MINDFULNESS IN SPORTS

To manage the pressure of competitive sports, the program places strong emphasis on mindfulness practices. These techniques help student-athletes:

  • Manage stress
  • Remain present in the moment
  • Engage in sports with a clear and focused mind
  • Improve sportsmanship 

Integrating these practices into training sessions prepares athletes to handle both the highs and lows of competitive sports with grace and composure.

  • Joy of the game

Each practice and match provides opportunities for students to learn valuable life lessons, develop social skills, and build lasting friendships. Athletes are encouraged to set personal goals, pursue excellence, and enjoy the process.
