This month we’re reading The Mindful Athlete: Secrets To Pure Performance by George Mumford.
We found The Mindful Athlete after a client asked us for book recommendations on mental performance and sports mindset. During our research, multiple trusted sites and blogs referenced this book as one of the top on their list. George Mumford, who has worked with all 11 NBA championship teams coached by Phil Jackson, shares his own powerful story of finding meditation and mindfulness after having “lost his way” and weaves in countless other stories of people in sports. While the book is intended mainly for athletes, Mumford’s proven, gentle but groundbreaking mindfulness techniques can transform the performance of anyone with a goal.
The Mindful Athlete is accessible, relatable, and easy to read; giving great examples of how to incorporate mindfulness into your daily habits. If you want to be calmer, kinder and deal with the pressures of training (and life) in order to achieve your best performance, give this book a try. You and everyone else around you will be better off for it.
