520    "This book documents all of the emergent trends for 
       bringing mindfulness into the domain of sport in the 
       modern era and evaluates their research base and reported 
       outcomes. The authors also present their own mindfulness-
       based training program, the eponymous MSPE for athletes 
       and coaches. Although MSPE is still relatively young, as 
       the authors themselves emphasize, there is compelling 
       evidence, just as there was in medicine 40 years ago, that
       bringing the discipline of systematic mental training into
       sports at all levels can not only enhance performance and 
       outcomes but also catalyze a greater sense of deep 
       connection and satisfaction and, at least in some cases, 
       the merging of mind and body into a space that, at its 
       higher reaches, transcends the very sense of a separate 
       self who is doing the performing. This experience touches 
       a domain of human performance where what we call" mind" 
       and what we think of as" body" come together in that 
       original beauty of the Greek ideal, embodied in action, in
       the timelessness of the present moment, an experience that
       --when it can be put into words at all, which it often 
       cannot, except perhaps in Homeric poetry (see Scarry, 1999,
       pp. 93-94)--is described as "flow" (Csikszentmihalyi, 
       1990; see also Lambert, 1998, and Murphy White, 1978) or 
       nondoing (Kabat-Zinn, 2005b). In essence, it is the same 
       phenomenon as when a crew, as described earlier, 
       experiences only one mind and one body in the boat and the
       boat seems to propel itself through the water, an 
       experience known among rowers as "swing". May this book 
       spark widespread interest in mindfulness within the domain
       of sport and sport performance at all levels in society, 
       from occasional everyday athletic pursuits to the highest 
       reaches of amateur and professional sports, both 
       individual and team-based. And may it equally stimulate a 
       generation of new and increasingly rigorous scientific 
       studies to, as Thoreau said in another context, put a firm
       foundation underneath our dreams."--Foreword (PsycINFO
