The Mindful Athlete goes beyond mere athletic performance, delving into the profound concept of the flow state.

A remarkable manual for enhancing life’s richness and attaining deeply significant personal objectives.

The Mindful Athlete audiobook
George Mumford had a rough upbringing. As an African American kid living in the inner city, he got caught up in violence, drug abuse, and frequent encounters with the police. And like many before him he saw basketball as a way out of the slump, only for his dream to be cut short by a massive injury that derailed him and sent him to downward spiral.
Today he’s a top mindfulness and performance coach with more than 3 decades of experience, famous for coaching the Chicago Bulls and the LA Lakers, among many others from Olympic athletes to corporate executives, from Yale to jail, and most famously coaching Kobe Bryant, Michael Jordan, Shaquille O’Neal, and countless other NBA stars. So what happened with him that made him successful at turning his life around? Mindfulness meditation.
Just as it says in the title, this book is not about meditation per se. But this is a book about goals, determination and dedication to achieve high performance level, which uses mindfulness as the number one weapon. While every now and then it refers to the teachings of the Buddha – such as the Four Noble Truths and the Eightfold Path – the book have more of an athlete development kind of feel, due to Mumford’s line of work especially in the NBA.
Hence, in a way this is like practical meditation lessons directly applied in the real world, rather than meditation taught in a zen place with cushion. It deals more with flows or “the zone” rather than chants, more focusing amidst the crowd noises rather than in a silent retreat. It is direct to the point, with clear scientific cause and effects, and written in a step by step manner with formulas that makes it easy to implement in training.
Moreover, as it is in a sport development plan, the book also filled with many tools, quotes, and sports science hacks, that eventually circle back to mindfulness. Which serve to demonstrate that if we implement it right, meditation could become the center of our wellbeing and progress. Highly practical book, so very recommended.

Audiobook The Mindful Athlete by George Mumford
This is a great book for all athletes. I bought it to read with my 10 year old son and the humor and tone of the book resonates with him. If you aren’t familiar with mindfulness he breaks it down very step by step. He studied with Jon Kabat Zinn (who basically brought mindfulness to the west) so this guys knows what he’s talking about. There are some stories of drug use and addiction but I personally feel comfortable talking to my child about that. He also uses some language, mostly for emphasis and humor. The book has been a great family read. Yes, it’s about mindfulness in sports but it’s really about being mindful in every aspect of our lives. Everyone benefited from it. Highly recommend!

Audio The Mindful Athlete narrated by J. D. Jackson
Guided by the principles of meditation and mindfulness, I was drawn to this enlightening book. It holds a wealth of knowledge waiting to be absorbed from its very pages. It serves as a gateway to explore other authors, texts, diverse cultures, religions, and even films that offer substantiation and insight. Encompassing the vast realm of mental well-being, it is hard to fully express the depth of my gratitude for stumbling upon this book, guided by some higher force. When you vocalize your inquiries earnestly, benevolent energies shall light your way. Blessings upon you, and a heartfelt thank you to Mr. Mumford.

Seleccioné este libro tras escuchar una entrevista con el autor, en la cual conversaba acerca de los Chicago Bulls y Michael Jordan. Me cautivaron las técnicas que presenta para concentrarse en el momento presente, los provechos de la meditación y la relevancia de la respiración.
He integrado estos conceptos a mi práctica del ciclismo y les he encontrado gran utilidad. Sin duda, recomiendo fervientemente esta obra tanto a atletas como a cualquier persona que aspire a centrarse en el aquí y ahora, mitigar el estrés y experimentar una existencia apacible.
