This week on the Way of Champions Podcast, we welcome George
Mumford, author of The Mindful
Athlete and Mindfulness & Elite Performance
Expert. We dive into why sports are so important in teaching
life-lessons, how to get buy-in from players, and the most
important lesson to teach athletes for peak-performance.

You can connect with George on Twitter or on his website at georgemumford.com. Be sure to check out his great book, The Mindful Athlete or even take his course.
