The sample of the research consisted of 292 athletes. The data were collected with the Mindfulness Inventory For Sport, Competition State Anxiety Inventory-2 and track performance information. Before the analysis, the assumption of normality was checked and descriptive statistics were determined.

In athletes, there is a negative aspect weak level between mindfulness with cognitive anxiety and physical anxiety. In addition, positive aspect weak level between mindfulness; track performance and a positive moderate significant relationship was found between mindfulness and self-confidence. Athletes with high levels of mindfulness experienced significantly lower levels of physical anxiety and felt higher levels of self-confidence. Again, it was found that athletes with a high level of conscious awareness had a significantly higher level of track performance. With the high level of mindfulness of the athletes, their self-confidence can increase and their physical anxiety can decrease. Similarly, high mindfulness can increase the performance of athletes.
