Athletes have the advantage

The tennis team of Maharishi School of the Age of Enlightenment in Fairfield, Iowa, USA has established a reputation, for top talent and excellent sportsmanship. The team’s brilliant coach, Lawrence Eyre, attributes the success of this team over the years to their practice of Maharishi’s Transcendental Meditation Technique.

This simple, natural, mental technique is the most widely practised and extensively researched programme for the development of full potential of mind and body, including improved athletic performance and mind-body coordination. Athletes who practise Transcendental Meditation have the advantage over their opponents, and they know it.

Recently, the team enjoyed yet another victory—this time they won every set in a tournament with the team in Ottumwa, Iowa.

Coach Eyre, who has been MSAE's head coach for 20 seasons, is quoted as saying that Transcendental Meditation has significantly helped his players. 'Our team members have tended to remain composed. I think it's because they get rid of their stress twice a day [through Transcendental Meditation]. It dissolves the strain and fatigue.'

Devon Jarvis—one of the teams top players—is quoted as saying, 'The fact that we meditate helps us deal with frustration during the match. It keeps your mind more at peace.'

A local newspaper, The Ottumwa Courier stated that 'Jarvis was just part of the talented Fairfield Maharishi (MSAE) contingent that blanked Ottumwa 11-0 at Dan Staggs Courts on Monday. MSAE won eight sets by a score of 6-0. MSAE head coach Lawrence Eyre—a Yale graduate—breeds state title winners.'
