Sacramento Valley Psychological Association (SVPA) is hosting it’s fifth annual Student Research Conference (SRC) at the Sacramento State University Alumni Center. This years morning presentation will commence with a mindfulness training led by Dr. Christina Spragg, that will focus on the importance and utilization of mindfulness techniques. This training will be followed by a panel of sports psychologist and professional athletes that will be discussing the impact of wellness, mental health, and mindset on physical performance and mind-body health. Both presentation segments will provide a general overview of mindfulness and how mindfulness affects brain functioning, as well as common misconceptions regarding its practice. The primary focus will be on the use of mindfulness practice as a complement to traditional cognitive-behavioral therapy, particularly in the treatment of athletes. The audience will have an opportunity to participate in a mindfulness exercise and ask questions during the panel.

As a result of the presentation participants will have a better understanding of the following: 1) Evaluating what mindfulness is and what it is not; 2) Describing the mind-body connection as it impacts psychical performance and how is affected by mindfulness practice; 3) Analyzing how mindfulness is applied to the therapeutic process in exposure-based interventions specifically within the context of athletic performance; 4) Utilizing the experience of mindfulness in therapy
