Phil Jackson: Coaching

Abstract: 5 pages in length. Seven seasons as the coach of the Chicago Bulls basketball team and a winning season with the Los Angeles Lakers, Phil Jackson departed leaving an overwhelming sense of camaraderie, brotherhood, spirituality and encouragement. Clearly, the years Jackson spent with the Bulls pre-empted the teams entire philosophy about winning and losing, as well as the very essence that compels them to reach for the glory. To Jackson, coaching basketball was not solely about winning; rather, he achieved such a winning record by teaching his players the more important aspects of life. Jackson's entire coaching philosophy revolved around the importance of finding beauty, selflessness and transcendence within one's overall existence; whether the task at hand is menial or monumental, Jackson coached his team in the art basketball and the art of life.
