Let the game come to you

Hey Lu,

It is 'Anything Goes' Thursday and I don't have much, but I got this. Who first said, "Let the game come to you"? I honestly don't know. But I found this about Phil Jackson when he was first coaching Michael Jordan:

Michael Jordan was a star player for the Chicago Bulls. He won scoring titles and most valuable player recognitions, but his team could not seem to win a National Basketball Association (NBA) championship. Phil Jackson, his coach, could see that he was chasing the game. He said to Michael, “Let the game come to you.” Phil taught him to be centered which created a vortex that brought the game to him, instead of chasing the game. Once he began to let the game come to him, his team got involved, and instead of him chasing opposing players, they used their energy to chase him. Suddenly the Bulls’ game expanded to another level and they won championships.


So you know what to do!

Love ya,

Dad
