ARIZONA CARDINALS

This past spring 2024, we were able to have mindfulness and meditation session with former NFL

player Soul Cole. Soul’s session with our Arizona Cardinals rookie class covered the importance

of meditation, mindfulness, and breath work. From the very beginning, his deep understanding of

the challenges faced by professional athletes was evident and the session was transformative.

Soul’s approach was nothing short of inspiring. By sharing his own journey and experiences as a

former NFL player, he created an immediate and powerful connection with the rookies. His

relatability and authenticity made the session not just informative, but deeply personal and

impactful. Soul’s ability to communicate the significance of staying present, increasing

awareness, and enhancing focus resonated profoundly with the athletes.

The session went beyond teaching techniques; it was about fostering a deep understanding and

connection. Soul’s genuine care and insight equipped the rookies with practical strategies to

decompress and improve their performance, both on and off the field. It was clear that the

rookies left the session feeling more prepared to tackle the unique challenges of their

professional careers with a sense of grace and success.

Soul Cole’s engagement with the Arizona Cardinals was a remarkable experience, we are

grateful for his wisdom and the positive energy he brought to the session.

If you are looking for a mindfulness and mental performance consultant Soul is the one.
