Braden Brown, director of mental health at BYU Athletics, joins the show to discuss the immense value of mindfulness for athletes. "Based on the Lochbaum et al., 2022 systematic review of 30 meta-analyses across 40 years of sport psychology research. Mindfulness wasn’t just effective—it was THE most effective variable in the entire dataset. In a world obsessed with confidence, self-talk, and motivation. The data shows mindfulness is the foundation. If you want clutch performance, emotional stability, faster recovery from mistakes, better training efficiency, and improved well-being."
