Description
Claudio Robazza and co-authors test in 2024 how a mindful turn of mind steers athletes' emotions through the way they size up a contest. The study sits inside multi-states theory, which treats an athlete's mental and bodily state as one shifting whole. Hundreds of Italian athletes from solo and team sports filled in measures before ordinary training sessions.
Path analysis traced the routes. Two mindfulness facets, awareness and refocusing, fed challenge appraisals, seeing the event as a chance to shine. That route raised excitement and happiness and lifted overall functioning states, while damping anxiety and dejection. A threat appraisal route also appeared, with a mixed pattern the authors detail. Their reading: mindfulness helps athletes frame pressure as opportunity, sparking pleasant, useful states. Training programs, they suggest, can build on that framing shift.
