Author(s): Nancy Gupta, Dr. Arun Kumar Tyagi and Dr. Sandhya Tiwari

Abstract:
The integration of mindfulness practices into the world of sports represents a dynamic and evolving journey that spans centuries. This research paper delves into the rich history of mindfulness in sports, tracing its origins from ancient Eastern traditions to its modern applications (Kabat-Zinn, 1990). The objective is to provide a comprehensive understanding of how mindfulness, a mental discipline rooted in contemplative practices, has transcended cultural and historical boundaries to become a pivotal tool for athletes seeking enhanced performance and mental resilience (Gardner & Moore, 2007).
