The purpose of traditional Chinese philosophy is to mold ideal personality and nurture individuals’ spirit. The core of this philosophy is to regulate and control of body and mind. Chinese culture contains not only a system of thoughts but also a system of practice methods. This integration is the quintessence of Chinese culture. It includes both insight of good thoughts and specific behavioral modification methods for ideal. It educates people with useful ways leading to a spiritual world. In recent 15 years, researches on the relationship between Chinese culture and psychology are increasing. However in competitive sports field there are few researches on athletes’ psychological counseling and mental training from the point of view of Chinese traditional thinking and techniques. Both the trend of psychology development on theoretical and empirical studies with a multi-cultural approach and the characteristics of Chinese competitive sports system induce the need for indigenous researches on psychological counseling and mental training. Based on the approach of combining Chinese culture and mental training, this paper made a summary of techniques and methods rooted from thoughts of Confucianism, Buddhism, and Taoism for athletes’ mental training program. These methods include 1) introspection and reading for control of thinking and attitude, 2) meditation, count of breathing and standing Qigong for control of deliria and disturbing thinking, and 3) training of mindfulness and learning of Guqin, Go, calligraphy and Chinese painting for control of emotions. Four difficulties were discussed when introducing thinking and methods of Chinese culture into athletes’ mental training program. First many concepts in Chinese culture are difficult to be measured and effects of behavioral modification are difficult to be tested because Chinese culture carries a mysterious characteristic and lacks of operational possibility. Second, few researchers are interested in this research area. Third, there is lack of systematic researches in this field. And fourth, there are wrong cognitions toward to Chinese traditional culture and therefore mental training techniques embedded in Chinese traditional culture are not well accepted in sport teams.
