100% agree

Hopefully the "mindfulness" can continue for future seasons. It is only being used for 4 weeks.

Yeah it is really expensive from what the article was saying. I think they want to keep it going but they need funding. I wonder of athletics will pitch in for that.
 
Golden partnering with the school, but hates education. Sounds legit.

send this to the English professor

**** you Herald.
 
Fwiw, I read lots of Buddhist texts and mindfulness is a big part of the reason I got interested in it in the first place. That with the limited meditation I do has helped and it's been a good thing for me. Visualization is a good tool for athletes so I don't see how this can hurt.
 
During the session, as the players participated, they also shared with Rogers the challenges the training is attempting to address.

“What’s the biggest challenge of being a team?”

“Getting 105 guys on the same page,” McDermott said.

“You’re here as a team,” Scott said. “The world has somehow materialized in such a way that you are together with a common mission. What’s your mission as a team?”

“To win,” said offensive lineman Taylor Gadbois.

“What’s another mission?” Rogers asked.

Gadbois had a quick comeback. “It’s the only one that matters.”

Oh great! So now if we win the NC, the ncaa will take it away and start a new investigation that players received extra benefits from the military.

I know you were just foolin, But, Miami may have been the NCAA's last hurrah.
 
It's funny that anything about Golden doing something remotely wrong, the thread turns into 5 pages. But if he or the program do something like this that can benefit the athletes on and off the field, no one is to be found.
 
I like how Golden said he thought the team was mature enough to take part in this now. I think that's the biggest difference this year from the last, well, too many years. We've lacked maturity, but now have it.
