NFL Team the Seattle Seahawks Mandates Yoga

The staff of the Seattle Seahawks have now made it mandatory for their players to participate in Yoga practice after a successful optional program last season. According to ESPN, yoga is just part of Coach Pete Carroll’s focus on the players’ mental health and overall happiness.

“I wanted to find out if we went to the NFL and really took care of guys, really cared about each and every individual, what would happen?” he told ESPN.

Carroll’s philosophy is to care for individual players, by offering yoga and meditation sessions, and emphasizing positive thinking, language, and actions. There’s even a whole staff designed to look after the players’ well being, including a life-skills consultant/addiction counselor. This departs greatly from traditional football coaches who motivate their players by being tough on them.

Their offensive tackle Russell Okung also views meditation as an important part of training.

“Meditation is as important as lifting weights and being out here on the field for practice,” Okung said. “It’s about quieting your mind and getting into certain states where everything outside of you doesn’t matter in that moment. There are so many things telling you that you can’t do something, but you take those thoughts captive, take power over them and change them.”

In addition to improving mental focus and stability, yoga also has the benefit of improving flexibility and strengthening the neuromuscular system. The flexibility aspect is one of the main reasons athletes participate in yoga programs, to reduce injury to joints and connective tissue due to improperly stretched muscles. Weight baring poses also help strengthen the neuromuscular system by challenging how the body moves and hold positions which then transfers to strength training and other athletic activities.

Stay Present at Wat Pho

Do not dwell in the past, 

do not dream of the future, 

concentrate the mind 

on the present moment.
