"In The Mindful Athlete, George offers guidance that is far more than mental training for sports; it is a way of being that transforms how we meet every challenge in life. A powerful and enduring book for anyone ready to live and perform from the inside out." --Joan Borysenko , New York Times bestselling author and mind-body pioneer "The Mindful Athlete has become a reliable tool in my arsenal, providing me with a mental edge over the competition that I can always rely on." --Norman Powell , NBA All-Star, Miami Heat "There's nothing like The Mindful Athlete . [George] told the truth about tough stuff, including his own struggles, the value of ancient wisdom, and the stunning power of the fully-concentrated mind. In doing this, George taught generations how to win championships, on the court, and in life." --Steven Kotler , New York Times-bestselling author, journalist, and cofounder/executive director of the Flow Research Collective "George's 'Eye of the Hurricane' mindset of finding that inner stillness, whatever the chaos or environment is around you, is something that I have used throughout." --Jordan Binnington , Stanley Cup-winning goaltender, St.

Louis Blues "George's book truly helped transform my career. I related to so much of what he wrote, and for the first time, I felt understood. He showed me that my self-awareness and work ethic weren't scattered traits, but strengths I could turn into something powerful. Since reading The Mindful Athlete , those qualities have become some of my greatest weapons, both on and off the court." --Jessica Pegula , tennis player, formerly ranked #3 in singles, #1 in doubles in the world "Championships are won long before the puck drops. They are shaped in the quiet moments -- in how we breathe, how we respond, how we choose presence over pressure. Working with George taught me that sustained excellence isn't built on intensity alone, but on awareness. The Mindful Athlete reveals the inner discipline behind elite performance -- the calm within the storm that allows talent to flourish.

This is not just a book about sport. It is a guide to mastering yourself." --Jeff Jackson , CEO, Edmonton Oilers "The one thing that Shaquille O'Neal and Kobe Bryant could agree upon was that George Mumford was their secret weapon, the trusted advisor who brought clarity to their competitive minds. I know this because they told me personally. Mumford's The Mindful Athlete brings to the reader the special insight that the world's greatest athletes--from Michael Jordan to Scottie Pippen, from Shaq to Kobe--came to treasure. I, too, agree with them. Listening to George Mumford made me a better writer, a better thinker. Mumford has a gift, and now, he's sharing it in this special book.

It's a treasure." -- Roland Lazenby , Michael Jordan, The Life "George Mumford's insight into mindful performance has helped many word-class athletes reach their true and full potential. This engaging book will help you to lower your stress level and raise the bar in your own game and life." -- Jim Afremow , PhD, The Champion's Mind.
