Mindstoke Endurance Sport Symposium

April 25-27, 2025

The purpose of the Mindstoke Endurance Sport Symposium is to bring together researchers, practitioners, coaches, and athletes for a curated discussion of issues of contemporary interest and importance in the psychology of endurance sports. Efforts will be made to bring conversations typically held “in the hallway” into symposium sessions. Session formats will include panel discussions, case examples, small-group exercises, and media presentations.

Symposium attendees will have an opportunity to: (a) share current knowledge and applications pertaining to the psychology of endurance sports; (b) suggest future directions in the psychology of endurance sports; and (c) network with researchers, practitioners, coaches, and athletes with an interest in the psychology of endurance sports.

Symposium sessions have been scheduled to enable attendees to avail themselves of Sedona’s abundant cultural amenities and opportunities for outdoor activity during daylight hours.
