George Mumford: The Power of Mindfulness: How to Investigate Your Pain

“Within your mind, body and soul YOU have an untapped potential that wants to be unleashed. It calls to you in your dreams and whispers to you when your mind goes silent. It is relentless because it knows you are capable of more than you give yourself credit for” (George Mumford)

George Mumford used his insights into pain, mindfulness and performance to enrich the careers of athletes including Michael Jordan, Kobe Bryant and Shaquille O’Neal.

George then realised that his ideas could help people “from locker rooms to board rooms, Yale to jail”, and so took his work beyond the sporting arena, including writing a book, The Mindful Athlete. 

In this episode, Andrew and George discuss mindfulness, George’s journey through pain and addiction, and George’s five superpowers:

⚡️Mindfulness

⚡️Concentration

⚡️Insight

⚡️Right Effort

⚡️Trust
