Michael Jordan credits George Mumford with transforming his on-court leadership of the Bulls, helping Jordan lead the team to six NBA championships. Mumford also helped Kobe Bryant, Andrew Bynum, and Lamar Odom and countless other NBA players turn around their games. A widely respected public speaker and coach, Mumford is sharing his own story and the strategies that have made these athletes into stars in The Mindful Athlete: The Secret to Pure Performance.

A gateway book to mindfulness practice
Reviewed: 04-02-21
I’ve started and stopped at least 10 books on mindfulness. This is the one that finally pulled me in. George Mumford puts mindfulness into a western frame of reference which finally helped me relate to it. I could picture his retelling of the Bulls, Lakers, Bruce Lee and Dr. J because that was my childhood. Those were my superheroes. Now I can look at them to see not just great athletes, but masters of their own mindful practice. This is a gateway book for deeper study.
