Ep. 71: The Compatibility of Mindfulness & Competition - Part 1
In this episode, Keith, Tim, and Taylor have a conversation about an ever-present tension in their work: the compatibility of mindfulness and competition. From one perspective, packaging mindfulness for the inherently striving act of winning is counter to the very foundations of this type of practice. Alternatively, helping make mindfulness digestible, accessible, and practical can allow people to benefit in their sporting and everyday lives. Join us for Part 1 of this discussion.

Customer Reviews
Great for athletes and practitioners
The MSPE podcast is great! A nice compliment to the MSPE book and training. As a sport psychology consultant, they have enhanced my ability to use mindfulness with athletes. As a person, they have deepened my mindfulness practice. Each episode starts with the guest guiding a mindfulness practice. Helpful to hear how each practitioner approaches them differently. Keith and Tim guide the conversations so skillfully. They do a great job of summarizing and presenting info in a digestible way that can be presented to athletes.
Accessible and insightful
I really enjoyed the first episode of this podcast—hearing the journeys of both the hosts as well as the field of mindfulness in sport. I found the meditation practice calming and accessible and look forward to future interviews with other pillars of the field!
