As sports are the most popular extracurricular activity for children and adolescents, student-athletes are an ever-present population on campus and have unique risk and resilience factors as well as needs related to their well-being on and off the field. Mind-body health practices are a broad group of interventions that target physical and emotional wellness. This article presents evidence-based strategies that are low-cost, quick, and generalizable interventions for student-athletes to learn to support their performances in sports, academics, and in their future careers.
