NBA Champions Use Mindfulness

Phil Jackson holds the NBA record for the most combined championships (13) as a player and coach. He is known by his players as the "Zen Master" because Phil utilizes a holistic approach to training and he teaches Mindfulness skills to all his players. 

Each of his coaching titles was won with a full time Mindfulness coach on staff.

Phil's Mindfulness coach is a former player named George Mumford. George has written a book about his struggles and his teaching principles called "The Mindful Athlete"
