All athletes and coaches know that peak performance requires more than just physical exertion. There is a psychological component as well, which can be expressed in attributes such as awareness, focus, emotion regulation, and motivation.
For many years, systematic mental training was ignored in athletics. Thankfully, this is starting to change. This comprehensive resource on the history, theory, and practice of mindfulness in sport offers a fresh, exciting approach to performance enhancement for athletes and coaches at all levels, from amateur to professional. Rooted in the traditions of mindfulness-based stress reduction and mindfulness-based cognitive therapy, Kaufman, Glass, and Pineau present mindful sport performance enhancement (MSPE), an empirically supported, six-session program that can be adapted for athletes or even performers in other high-pressure domains. Each MSPE session includes educational, experiential, and discussion components, as well as recommendations for home practice. There is special emphasis on incorporating mindfulness into workouts, practices, and competitions, as well as everyday life.
The book includes handy scripts for mindfulness teachers, athletes, and coaches, and handouts summarizing each session that are also available for download from the APA website.

Mindful Sport Performance Enhancement Mental Training for Athletes and Coaches Keith A Kaufman Carol R Glass Timothy R Pineau 9781433828645 Books Reviews
- This evidence-based program describes in succinct fashion a mindfulness program for athletes. It would be applicable to many other populations, including students. The program and mindfulness is described so anyone can understand. As a mental skills and performance consultant, I highly recommend this book (as well as the workshop offered by the authors) to anyone searching for new skills or just for some ways to improve their own lives.
- A fantastic guide to mindfulness for sport which is surely the leading text of its kind. Dr. Kaufman and his colleagues provide both rich detail and a comprehensive overview of the growing field of mindfulness in sport - not only from a performance point of view, but also in terms of mindfulness within a school sport setting and within a sport-for-development setting, pointing to the work of organisations such as The True Athlete Project. The well-crafted scripts are a must in the toolkit of any coach looking to help his/her athletes get an edge. Could not recommend highly enough.
- Very practical and detailed - a great read for structured types who are looking for a pragmatic text on the virtues of mindfulness in sport
- The MSPE book and program has made a huge impact on my coaching career as well as the experience and performance of my student athletes. I would highly recommend this book to any coach or athlete. It has proven to be a great tool and resource for myself and my team. I have found that implementing mindfulness on and off the field has lead to greater personal and team performances. This book provides great examples and easy ways to incorporate mindfulness into your training routine. The program has been transformative to my coaching approach and has allowed me to better connect with my athletes and produce better results. Anyone interested in learning more about mindfulness and the ways it can benefit athletes and coaches should read this!
- An absolutely wonderful resource! The authors provide an incredibly detailed overview of a 6-session mindfulness-based protocol that is rooted in scientific research and identifies 5 performance facilitators to help athletes enhance their performance. It is a wonderful resource for athletes, coaches, personal trainers, sport psychologists, and other professionals who are hoping to help their athletes live in the moment and improve their performance.
- GREAT read for anyone involved in sports looking to gain the right mindset and learn about mindfulness! If you have the opportunity, the authors offer an amazing workshop as well. I'm a Psychologist and certified sport consultant and this is a must-have for working with athletes on all levels.
- MSPE is a great resource for anyone looking to learn about mindfulness and understand how it can be applied in real life. Written specifically for athletes and other performers, it addresses the mental side of the game, which is a primary factor in achieving optimal (or suboptimal) outcomes. The book is highly relevant to non-athletes, though, since we all have emotions that we need to manage, goals we’re trying to achieve, and preexisting biases and judgments that can interfere along the way. MSPE is a clear, readable, step-by-step guide that is relevant to professionals and laypeople alike. It has a basis in science and research, and includes candid personal anecdotes that lend to its credibility. A must read!
