MLS, U.S. Soccer Get Mindful with HeadspaceMLS, U.S. Soccer Get Mindful with Headspace

Major League Soccer and U.S. Soccer have inked a multi-year deal with meditation app Headspace to provide app-subscriptions as well as training to athletes, coaches and staff.

“The “Headspace” app provides top-line meditation training and is a wonderful supplement to the preexisting health and wellness resources the league and our clubs already provide,” says Dr. Margot Putukian, chief medical officer, MLS. “We look forward to members of the soccer community utilizing the Headspace app to advance their mindfulness skills to help them achieve their goals both on and off the field.”

Headspace has worked with brands and athletes in the past to promote a more meditative lifestyle. Last March, the company partnered with Nike to develop guided meditation audio content.
