One of these players is eight-year veteran NBA point guard Ricky Rubio, who just made headlines for signing a three-year, $51 million contract with the Phoenix Suns.
“In 2016, I was going through tough times,” he related. “Whenever that happens, I go to a bookstore to help clear my mind and think about the problems. That’s when I came across a book by Andy Puddicombe (the co-founder of Headspace).” Rubio continued, “During the 2016 Olympic games in Brazil, I downloaded the Headspace app to learn more about meditation and started the practice for the first time. Meditation helped put everything in perspective.”
