Sayings from the Coach Phil Jackson

If you meet the Buddha in the lane, feed him the ball.

In basketball – as in life – true joy comes from being fully present in each and every moment, not just when things are going your way. Of course, it’s no accident that things are more likely to go your way when you stop worrying about whether you’re going to win or lose and focus your full attention on what’s happening right this moment.

Basketball coaching quotes.

Approach the game with no preset agendas and you’ll probably come away surprised at your overall efforts.

Once you’ve done the mental work, there comes a point you have to throw yourself into the action and put your heart on the line. That means not only being brave but being compassionate towards yourself, your teammates, and your opponents.

Basketball is a simple game. Your goal is penetration, getting the ball close to the basket, and there are three ways to do that. Pass, dribble, and offensive rebound.
