What is it that all Olympic Athletes most desire from Sport Psychology?
Part I – Mindfulness and ACT at the Olympic Games – only 10 attendees allowed!
Tuesday 12th September 2023: 09.00 – Thursday 14th September 2023: 17.00
An applied 3-day hands on workshop with Dr. Peter Haberl
The objectives of this 3-day interactive workshop are to experientially engage the participants with the importance, effectiveness and inherent obstacles of using mindfulness and ACT principles as a guiding paradigm for optimal mental preparation in the lead up and during the Olympic & Paralympic Games. The workshop will address common myths in the minds of athletes (and sport psychologists) on what mindstates are necessary for optimal performance at the Olympic & Paralympic Games and how to address those myths with mindfulness and ACT. The methods used will include mindfulness practices, experiential activities viewed through the lens of ACT, case examples from the Olympic Games, as well as storytelling and metaphor. Participants will have the opportunity to discuss and reflect on their own cases. At the end of the workshop, participants will have a clear understanding of how to integrate mindfulness in their own practice. Education handouts, core worksheets and mindfulness scripts will be provided.
