As Elrond explains in The Fellowship of the Ring, “They were not made as weapons of war or conquest: that is not their power. Those who made them did not desire strength or domination or hoarded wealth, but understanding, making, and healing, to preserve all things unstained.”

Inspired Dennis Rodman and other “uncoachable” personalities to devote themselves to something larger than themselves And the most important question of all: Who’s actually gonna own this magical jewelry? They’ll have to start planning a wardrobe update. I have personally noticed a huge difference in Kobe Bryant from when he came into the league and now and I definitely felt it was more than just getting older and Phil's book confirms that.I particularly liked the behind the scene and the focus on Phil’s own personal growth via philosophy and meditation. Michael needed to shift his perspective on leadership. “It’s all about being present and taking responsibility for how you relate to yourself and others,” says George. “And that means being willing to adjust so that you can meet people where they are. Instead of expecting them to be somewhere else and getting angry and trying to will them to that place, you try to meet them where they are and lead them where you want them to go.” The system also gave players a clear purpose as a group and established a high standard of performance for everyone.”

Managed Michael Jordan, the greatest player in the world, and got him to embrace selflessness, even if it meant losing a scoring title All of these “treasures” have been integral to my coaching, but compassion has been the most important. In the West we tend to think of compassion as a form of charity, but I share Lao-tzu’s view that compassion for all beings—not least of all oneself—is the key to breaking down barriers among people. Most coaches get tied up in knots worrying about tactics, but I preferred to focus my attention on whether the players were moving together in a spirited way. Michael Jordan used to say that what he liked about my coaching style was how patient I remained during the final minutes of a game, much like his college coach, Dean Smith. The mistake that championship teams often make is to try to repeat their winning formula. But that rarely works because by the time the next season starts, your opponents have studied all the videos and figured out how to counter every move you made. The key to sustained success is to keep growing as a team. Winning is about moving into the unknown and creating something new.” The experience of watching the 90s Chicago Bulls defined my understanding of sport. Year after year, we religiously watched the NBA playoffs. The poise of Michael Jordan and his supporting cast made victory feel inevitable. After each, we made a pilgrimage to a makeshift championship t-shirt stand in the ballroom of Skokie's Holiday Inn, returning with the latest"big head" or "ring" shirt design.Elite coaches and players often talk about valuing the process. Mastering the craft and remaining present. Prepare as best you can and let go of the outcome or result. The book makes me want to know way more about him though. I'm pretty fascinated with what seems like a deep want to go inward and be very sage/monk-ish vs what continued to drive him to coach and to be open to coach even that last time it didn't work out with the Lakers. I'm interested to see how his children are, what his relationships with ex-wives are like. I'm nosy. Lol.
