Phil Jackson shares how he used mindfulness coach some of the greatest players ever.
"As much as we pump iron and we run to build our strength up, we need to build our mental strength up."
"We need to build our mental strength so we can focus, get one-pointed attention, and be in concert with one another in times of need."
You need to work on your mind and your body.
"When you come off the court, you had a bad call, things are going wrong - you sit on the bench, you take a breath, and you re-seat yourself."
"You reset yourself. And you do that through mindfulness. You just come right back in and collect yourself."
Then he explained how he implemented it:
"We introduced it in training camp. Day of games we started using it. And it ultimately became a process of centering yourself."
"Just getting back and being centered."
The best teams aren't just physically prepared - they're mentally prepared.
They spend time investing in their mindset.
· They work on the ability to be present.
· They work on the next-play mentality.
· They work on how to reset.
