Author of Sacred Hoops (book) by Phil Jackson[]
The legendary NBA coach takes an inside look at the wisdom of teamwork. He also discusses how he convinced some of the game’s top players — Michael Jordan, Kobe Bryant, Scottie Pippen, Dennis Rodman — to act with a clear mind. Not thinking, just doing; to respect the enemy and be aggressive without anger or violence; to live in the moment and stay calmly focused in the midst of chaos; and to put the “me” in service of the “we.”
“In basketball — as in life — true joy comes from being fully present in each and every moment,” Jackson writes, “not just when things are going your way.”
