Write a two-page paper about mindfulness and meditation, describing these concepts and discussing the benefits associated with them. Please also discuss how meditation and mindfulness are viewed in sport and (when appropriate) cite examples of athletes/coaches who are advocates for mindfulness and meditation. Please also discuss your initial thoughts about meditation and mindfulness before this assignment. Please cite (APA) all of your work and include a references page at the end of this section.
Section Two
The purpose of this section of the assignment is to provide an opportunity for you to practice meditation for ten consecutive days.

After each meditation, write a short paragraph about your experience. Some points to consider, include:
Was this practice easy or hard?
What did you like/dislike about the meditation – did the narrative on headspace help? Why/why not?
How did you feel after the practice?
