Ryan Stock - Mindsport Founder & Author of Buddha was a Baller - Episode 2

Ryan Stock is the founder of MindSport, author of Buddha Was A Baller, and a former NCAA college basketball player and college basketball coach of over 15 years. His experiences as a coach and player led him to start the athlete meditation app, MindSport, which in turn led to the writing of the book Buddha Was A Baller.

It was the difficult times in particular that led to Stock wanting to help athletes and coaches to live healthier, more successful and fulfilling lives. Stock himself experienced struggles with anxiety, frustration, dealing with difficult times, and in remaining present in his life as an athlete and coach before finally resigning from athletics and starting the journey that led him to find mindfulness and meditation. Meditation is the practice that Stock now utilizes daily in his life while showing other athletes and coaches how to implement practice in their lives.

Aside from writing and developing the content and recording sessions for the MindSport app, Stock also works one on one with college and professional athletes and organizations as an athlete meditation mentor.

Stock most recently completed his Yoga Teacher Training through Jonny Kest in 2019 and now teaches athlete meditation and Yoga to elite level NCAA universities and professional athletic organizations all across the country.
