Finding the Eye of the Hurricane: Where Mindfulness Meets Performance
When Michael Jordan sank his legendary game-winning shot in the 1998 NBA Finals, something extraordinary was happening in his mind. "The crowd gets quiet, and the moment starts to become the moment for me," Jordan later explained. This wasn't just athletic brilliance-it was mindfulness in action. The mental state athletes call "the Zone" isn't mystical or accidental but a trainable skill. George Mumford, who taught these techniques to Jordan and the Chicago Bulls under Phil Jackson, discovered this path not through spiritual seeking but through addiction recovery. His approach has since influenced six NBA championship teams and countless elite performers across fields. The foundation? Five Spiritual Superpowers-mindfulness, concentration, insight, right effort, and trust-that create access to peak performance states available to anyone willing to practice them.
