I used meditation in college as a student-athlete mainly to learn how to relax during 800 and 1500m races. Many people believe that in order to run fast you have tense your muscles and push harder but the opposite is true. When you relax and concentrate on your form and breathing the speed flows right through you.
Haven't used it in quite a while but when I did it brought a nice balance to things. Good focus, a gentle calm, better stress management, etc. Nothing mystical. Just healthy benefits.
