- Nelson Mandela
The drive to play sports goes back to antiquity with the Greeks competing for the gods at Olympia. Using our physical bodies to excel athletically can create meaning and value in our lives, something even our ancient ancestors knew well. Understanding the connection between mind and body and the role played by attitude, emotions, and perspective in achieving excellence is just as important as physical training. The psychology of sport encompasses more than just performance or motivation. Connections count. Developing a healthy relationship to self, to your sport, and to others in your sphere is also vital to cultivating your flow state necessary for success.
