MINDFULNESS MEETS PERFORMANCE PSYCHOLOGY MindStrong Sport is not like any other meditation app. This is about managing your mental health by building mental strength. It is built on the experience of athletes and supported by psychological literature. We aim to offer a different approach to helping athletes manage the most important part of their game and life—their mind. MindStrong Sport is free to download and enjoy a range of sessions, including our introductory course. Created by Lewis Hatchett. A former professional athlete, mindset coach, and mindfulness teacher, Lewis built MindStrong Sport out of the need for a resource he wished he had as an athlete. Meditation and mindset practices are what Lewis and his athletes have used to build a mind that not only allows them to perform in their sport but also to manage life. An introduction to your mind: Our 14-day introductory course has been described as game-changing by users who join the app and learn how their minds work Learn how mindfulness and meditation shift your mindset: Mindfulness has not only shown its benefits in everyday life, but it has also been found to be the number one intervention for improving sports performance.

Meditation topics include: Anxiety Confidence Self-Talk Fear of Failure Sleep Focus Mental Strength Nerves Visualisation Resilience Create a mindset shift: Our unique mindset shifts offer short audio sessions to help you shift your perspective in 1-3 minutes, allowing you to turn challenges into opportunities and develop not only the athlete but also the person.

Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: MindStrong Sport at 4.7 against AthleteTalk's 3.2. MindStrong Sport also leads on ratings volume (105 vs 5). AthleteTalk's advantage is update cadence (fortnightly vs monthly). On price, review sentiment, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. MindStrong Sport sells 15 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per 7 days and AthleteTalk sells 6 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per year. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
MindStrong Sport holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 3.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: MindStrong Sport has 105 ratings behind it against 5, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews split almost evenly too, at 100% and 100% positive.
MindStrong Sport ships an update monthly, AthleteTalk fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on October 27, 2026 and October 16, 2026 respectively.
