Two years later, as a senior, I enjoyed the most satisfying basketball season of my life. My path from depression and anxiety to joy and peak performance was somewhat unconventional. A therapist taught me to meditate, enabling me to face my problems instead of shrinking from them. By modifying my habits regarding drugs, partying and my phone, and reading meaningful books, I developed new attitudes toward both my sport and my life. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSince graduating, I've continued studying and practicing meditation, and now teach other athletes how to integrate mental training into their sports. I presently teach a course at Regis University called Mindfulness for Athletes, and I'm the meditation coach for the Regis Men's Basketball and Baseball teams. I've worked with athletes at all levels, from high school to the NBA.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cem\u003eThis book, then, is about playing sports, overcoming anxiety, the practice of meditation, growing up, and discovering how to live well.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 238\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.5 x 8 x 5 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e January 25, 2022\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48347625291946,"sku":"9781736872802","price":26.42,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0703\/1475\/4218\/files\/aE5VZXFqVmU4S3Y2N0dUQU1GbDlLQT09.webp?v=1779738776","url":"https:\/\/wiccancenter.com\/es\/products\/harder-than-i-thought-easier-than-i-feared-sports-anxiety-and-the-power-of-meditation-paperback","provider":"Wiccan Center","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
