Paperback. Condition: Good. 240 pages. Cover worn With a new introduction, Phil Jackson's modern classic of motivation, teamwork, and Zen insight is updat ed for a whole new readership Not only is there more to life tha n basketball, there's a lot more to basketball than basketball. - Phil Jackson Eleven years ago, when Phil Jackson first wrote the se words in Sacred Hoops, he was the triumphant head coach of the Chicago Bulls, known for his Zen approach to the game. He hadnt yet moved to the Los Angeles Lakers, with whom he would bring his total to an astounding nine NBA titles. In his thought-provoking memoir, he revealed how he directs his players to act with a cle ar mind-not thinking, just doing; to respect the enemy and be agg ressive without anger or violence; to live in the moment and stay calmly focused in the midst of chaos; to put the me in service o f the we - all lessons applicable to any person's life, not just a professional basketball player's. This inspiring book went on t o sell more than 400,000 copies. In his new introduction, Jackso n explains how the concepts in Sacred Hoops are relevant to the i ssues facing his current team-and today's reader. Editorial Revi ews Considered a maverick for his unorthodox coaching methods, J ackson demonstrates how he adapts the precepts of Zen Buddhism, t he ways of the Lakota Sioux, and other alternative styles to the task of coaching the National Basketball Association's Chicago Bu lls. They range from group meditation sessions, to hanging Lakota warrior items on the locker room shelf, to splicing segments of the movie Wizard of Oz into game films to make a point. Perhaps o f greater interest to fans are his reactions to the return of Mic hael Jordan, following Jordan's retirement, and his take on an in cident in which one of his players refused to reenter a playoff g ame during its final moments. Chicago Bulls fans, in particular, should take interest in this inside view. For regional and large public libraries.-William H. Hoffman, Ft. Myers-Lee Cty. P.L., Fl a. - Library Journal One of the most successful coaches in the NBA, explains how he brought a new type of leadership--based on t he precepts of Zen Buddhism--to the Chicago Bulls. Jackson, who c alls himself a Zen Christian, stresses awareness, compassion, sel fless team play and respect for the enemy. Jackson reads the way he coaches and lives: thoughtfully, with control and steady pacin g. His voice is measured and clear. The only disappointing aspect of this production is that it's too short. Had it been the three hours of most two-cassette programs, we'd get an even clearer id ea of the connection between sports and Zen. P.B.J. ©AudioFile, P ortland, Maine - APR/MAY 97 - AudioFile.
