Abstract Research on mindfulness and self-compassion has suggested that these closely related constructs are also strongly related to flow, psychological distress, experiential avoidance and thought suppression. Despite the potential of this approach, literature in respect to the relation and role of these constructs in the sport context is scarce, particularly in soccer. The current study explored relations among self-compassion, mindfulness, psychological flexibility, and psychological distress (including anxiety), thought suppression and flow state, through the implementation of Mindfulness-Based Soccer Program (MBPSoccerP) for elite athletes. This study also analyzed the influence of baseline psychological flexibility, self-compassion and mindfulness facets on psychological distress, anxiety, flow and thought suppression measures at post-intervention. Methods: A quasi-experimental design was used and involved a pre-/post-pilot study and paired t-tests, pearsons correlations and hieraquical regression analyses were conducted to determine the common and unique variance in sport context predicted by these constructs and to compare their relative predictive strength in a nonclinical sample of elite soccer players -Portuguese 2º league (n=57; Mage = 25.79 years, SD = 3.3) Results: Findings showed self-compassion, mindfulness and psychological flexibility were negative associated with psychological distress (including anxiety) and thought suppression; and positively related to flow. In support, self-compassion, mindfulness and experiential avoidance explained variance beyond psychological distress (including anxiety), thought suppression and flow. Conclusions: Results suggest that mindfulness, self-compassion and psychological flexibility development may be beneficial in cultivating positive sport experience and flow state and less psychological distress and thought suppression. (English) [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] A investigação sobre mindfulness e autocompaixão sugere uma relação com o estado de flow, distress psicológico, evitamento experiencial e supressão de pensamento. Apesar do potencial destas abordagens, há uma escassez de literatura sobre a relação e o papel destes construtos no contexto desportivo e, especificamente, no futebol profissioal. O presente estudo explorou as relações entre autocompaixão, mindfulness, flexibilidade psicológica e distress psicológico (incluindo a ansiedade), supressão de pensamento e flow, através da implementação de treino mental focado no mindfulness, compaixão, e flexibilidade psicológica (MBPSoccerP) em atletas de futebol. Estudamos também a influência das facetas mindfulness, da flexibilidade psicológica, autocompaixão nas medidas de sofrimento psicológico, ansiedade, flow e supressão do pensamento. Métodos: Num design quase experimental efectuou-se um estudo pré / pós teste, analisado com a estatistica testes t emparelhados, correlações de Pearson e análise de regressão, realizadas numa amostra não clínica de jogadores de futebol - 2ª liga portuguesa (n = 57; M = 25,79 anos, DP = 3,3) Resultados: A autocompaixão, mindfulness e flexibilidade psicológica foram negativamente associados com sofrimento psicológico (incluindo ansiedade) e supressão do pensamento; e positivamente relacionados com o flow. Conclusões: Os resultados sugerem que a prática de mindfulness, da autocompaixão e da flexibilidade psicológica podem ser benéficos para cultivar uma experiência desportiva positiva e aumentar o flow, e diminuir o sofrimento psicológico e a supressão do pensamento. La investigación sobre la atención plena y la autocompasión ha sugerido una relación con el flow, la angustia psicológica, la evitación experiencial y la supresión. A pesar del potencial de este enfoque, existe una escasez de literatura con respecto a la relación y el papel de estos constructos en el contexto deportivo, y específicamente en el fútbol. El estudio actual exploró las relaciones entre la autocompasión, la atención plena, la flexibilidad psicológica y la angustia psicológica (incluida la ansiedad), la supresión del pensamiento y el flow, a través de la implementación del entrenamiento de Atención plena, compasión, e flexibilidad psicológica (MBPSoccerP) para los atletas de fútbol de élite. También se estudió la influencia de las facetas de flexibilidad psicológica, autocompasión y atención plena en las medidas de angustia psicológica, ansiedad, flow y supresión del pensamiento. Métodos: El diseño cuasi-experimental fue un estudio previo / posterior y se realizaron pruebas t pareadas, correlaciones de pearsons y análisis de regresión hieraquica para determinar la varianza única y común en el contexto deportivo predicha por estas construcciones y comparar su predicción relativa en una muestra no clínica de jugadores de fútbol -Portugueses 2º league (n = 57; M = 25.79 años, SD = 3.3) Resultados: la autocompasión, la atención plena y la flexibilidad psicológica fueron negativamente asociadas con la angustia psicológica (incluida la ansiedad) y la supresión del pensamiento; y positivamente relacionado con el flow. Conclusiones: Los resultados sugieren que el desarrollo de la atención plena, la autocompasión y la flexibilidad psicológica pueden ser beneficiosos para cultivar la experiencia deportiva positiva y el estado de flow y disminuir la angustia psicológica y la supresión del pensamiento.
