What was said
"For example, I'll take a Christian and we will read texts together. What kind of texts? Difficult texts. Ancient texts? Yeah, sometimes. Difficult texts. Difficult. Like, for example, we've read this week Jorge Luis Borges, an Argentine author. A text that will make you, after one page, your head hurts a bit. Yeah. Or we will, or we will. We did math. Yeah, 2 weeks ago we did some math work."
Portal describes work he says he has done with NFL running back Christian McCaffrey, including reading challenging literature (he names Jorge Luis Borges), completing mathematics exercises, and daily “hardcore” seated meditation for long periods. He presents these cognitive and contemplative practices as part of a broader attempt to change an athlete’s “presence” rather than only physical outputs.
