Pete Carroll Makes All Seahawks Players Take Yoga And Meditate
The Seattle Seahawks are undoubtedly the most poppin’ team in the NFL today. They have the cool west coast coach, a swag star for a quarterback, some fresh-ass uniforms and some of the rowdiest fans in the league.
But there is, of course, more than meets the eye. The Seahawks have one of the most intimidating defenses in the NFL, with one of the most prolific secondaries who makes life impossible for guys like Colin Kaepernick. But it’s more than just great coaching and personnel that makes this team so great; it’s the preparation. Some of these notable Seahawks techniques have been revealed, after it was published in a recent edition of ESPN The Magazine that players are all mandated to meditate and do yoga. Head coach Pete Carroll admitted that his guys are all required to take a class. This, of course, goes hand-in-hand with the meditation, which all of the players also do. http://elitedaily.com/sports/so-thats-their-secret-pete-carroll-makes-all-of-his-seahawks-players-take-yoga-classes/ God did have a say in this game after she/he heard John Elway's I'm a Republican anti-safety-net garbage.

1. meditation and yoga are both great for focus and concentration, and football players need to
be able to focus and concentrate.

3. That's kind of
the practice Phil Jackson used when he was managing the incredible Chicago Bulls and they were a super team then. When he left, that went away from them too.
