Have you ever watched a professional basketball player take a free throw? Have you noticed that it seems like they’re….meditating? In the first episode of Basketball, Etc., host Claire de Lune talks to a variety of experts and thought leaders in the field to find out how often basketball players are really practicing meditation and mindfulness, both on purpose and by accident, and makes some surprising discoveries along the way.
