Jon Giesbrecht (@playfreebball) talks basketball mindfulness, being involved but unattached, gears of breathing and more
Jon is on a mission to help athletes get to the next level with mental performance, he specializes in basketball mindfulness and it's clear by the way he talks about it and implements it that it's extremely effective.
The mental performance side of sports is something I'm super intrigued by. I've studied it, implemented it with my athletes, with myself and I've seen results in both. It's an extremely powerful thing, Jon thinks so as well.
Jon and I talk about what mindfulness is to him, he talks about his 3 buckets of mindfulness. We also talk about how he implements mindfulness, strategies as well as some tactics to use for both individuals and teams or groups.
We then touch on some specific topics like "being totally involved but unattached", self-talk, dealing with emotions/feelings and also breath work and the role it plays in all of the above
