Elite sport is a demanding environment, and this book delves into the psychological predictors of well-being and performance excellence among elite athletes. It presents an innovative approach to enhance mental well-being and sporting performance, developed by performance psychologists, clinical psychologists, and sport scientists. The Flexible Mind approach focuses on fostering 'psychological flexibility'—the ability to navigate challenging thoughts and emotions while remaining aligned with one’s values. Through various case studies across different sports, the book illustrates how three core components—Being Present, Being Open, and Doing What Matters—can significantly enhance athletes' performance and overall well-being. This resource is essential for sports psychologists, mental health practitioners, coaches, and support staff dedicated to helping athletes thrive both in their sport and personal lives. The chapters cover topics such as mindfulness interventions, introducing the Flexible Mind approach to athletes, and developing effective strategies to create a supportive environment for optimal performance. By integrating contemporary psychological theories with practical applications, this work aims to transform the way mental health and performance are approached in elite sports.
