CORNHOLE FOR MENTAL HEALTH

Why Professional Cornhole Is Good For Mental Health

Cornhole For Mental Health

Cornhole is one of the fastest growing sports world wide and over the past couple of years has transitioned from a barbecue/backyard game into a competitive and professional sport. While cornhole may not be the most strenuous sport on the body, it can definitely have a positive impact on your mental well being.


Here are 5 ways Cornhole is good for your mental health. 


1. Stress Relief

Cornhole can aid in stress relief and relaxation! Day to day stress can take a toll on you so finding an outlet or hobby to help you unwind, let go of your worries & focus on the present moment. The repetition of throwing ACL Cornhole Bags and the soothing sounds of bags hitting the board can create a rhythmic experience that can reduce stress and aid in relaxation.

2. Social Relief

Another important aspect of cornhole is the social connection to others and a sense of community it can bring. The beauty of cornhole is it can be played anywhere, in the backyard, a local league night or a major tournament. Getting out and meeting friends or even new people, engaging in some friendly banter and cheering on your friends and teammates all contribute to your sense of belonging and feelings of loneliness and isolation.

3. Cognitive Stimulation

Cornhole isn’t just throwing cornhole bags. The game requires focus, strategy, and skill. Players need to consider what type of professional bags are best for the board conditions, how their opponents strategy will work against theirs, best way to throw and what tactics will outmaneuver the competition to win the game.  Using decision making skills, critical thinking and spatial awareness enhances cognitive abilities, can improve memory, concentration & overall cognitive function.

4. Sense Of Achievement

An essential component of mental health is goal setting and working to achieve those goals. Cornhole players often work towards improving throwing accuracy, rankings and stats. The process of practicing & seeing progress builds self-confidence and gives you the needed sense of accomplishment. Achieving goals set, no matter how big or small, can boost confidence, generate positive emotions and motivate you to strive for continuous self improvement.

5. Mindfulness

Players need to be present and in the moment while playing. Concentration on throws, body position, grip and release to hit the pro cornhole boards heightens awareness of the mind-body connection and promotes a state of mindfulness. The practice of mindfulness has been linked to health benefits such as reducing anxiety, increased resilience and improved mental wellbeing 


While cornhole is something fun to do at a cookout, tailgating or at a more competitive level, it also offers benefits for your mental health and well being. Stress release, social connections, stimulation for cognitive abilities, goal setting and encouragement of mindfulness can have a positive impact on your overall mental well being. Next time you go to battle on the boards, have fun and embrace the cognitive aspect of the game!
