As the author of the book
The Mindfulness Athlete
, Mumford helps clients learn how to apply mindfulness techniques. Leveraging years of experience and research, he outlines how an athlete may implement mindfulness strategies against colleagues to dominate on the court. In mindfulness strategies, athletes are consciously aware of their surroundings and may react to an athlete's moves quickly and with control.
