This study examines the effect of mindfulness meditation training for sport on anxiety, self-confidence and mindfulness of Indonesian track and field’s athletes. A quantitative approach with a pre and post experimental design was employed in this study. The participants consisted of 18 Eastern Indonesian national team athletes, who were divided into a control group and a treatment group. The research instruments used were the Mindfulness Meditation Training for Sport 2.0 (MMTS 2.0) module, the Competitive State Anxiety Scale Revised (CSAI-2R), and the Mindful Attention Awareness Scale (MAAS). Data were analyzed using mean, standard deviation, percentages and, the Two-Way Mixed ANOVA test. The findings of the study indicate that the MMTS 2.0 module intervention can control somatic anxiety F (1, 16) = 9.63, p < .05, cognitive anxiety F(1, 16) = 7.67, p < .05, increase self-confidence F(1, 16) = 23.86, p < .05, and enhance mindfulness levels F(1, 16) = 40.60, p < .05 among Indonesian Track and Field athletes. The experimental group was found to have lower levels of anxiety, higher self-confidence, and greater mindfulness awareness compared to the control group after the intervention. In conclusion, this study aligns with previous research showing that mindfulness awareness training can reduce anxiety, boost self-confidence, and promote tranquility. The implementation of MMTS 2.0 can positively impact sports development in Indonesia and can be introduced nationwide to enhance athletes' psychological preparedness for competition.
