Whether preparing for game day, guiding a team, or supporting a child's athletic journey, this book offers a mindful approach to competition - one that values process over outcome, humility over ego, and joy over perfection.

Drawing on decades of experience as an athlete, coach, parent, and mindfulness teacher, Peter Bidstrup explores how lessons learned on the field continue to shape who we become beyond it. Sports are more than competition - they're a lifelong classroom for presence, purpose, and growth.

In The Why of Sports, each chapter invites reflection on the habits, virtues, and choices that define a true competitor: discovering your "why," trusting your gifts, training the unseen mind, and finding courage in uncertainty.

Through stories, insight, and practical guidance, Bidstrup shows how athletes, coaches, and parents can reimagine sport as a practice for becoming more aware, resilient, and connected.

At its heart, The Why of Sports is a call to return to what drew us to play in the first place: love of the game, love of learning, and love of those we share it with.
