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.
