Green is a member of the Golden State Warriors, with quite the resume to accompany his career, including three NBA championships. However, over the past few years, there’s been a heightened interest in athletes’ mental well-being, and Green intends to spotlight this aspect of professional sports that we haven’t seen before. Teaming up with spiritual and-wellness legend Deepak Chopra and master healer Devi Brown, The Sessions will go deep into the psyche of one of the NBA’s biggest stars. Together, the documentary will attempt to answer a crucial question: “Can this future hall-of-famer learn to train his mind as well as his body?”

Gotham Chopra is right about Green. While on the court, he exhibits a relentless work ethic, constantly punishing opposing offenses for lack of effort. Seeing his energy in a different environment and how he grows from The Sessions will be fascinating.

“I’ve had a lot of existential angst the last week as I’ve wrestled with the conflict I have between rooting for my hometown team, the Boston Celtics, and my friend, partner, and subject of The Sessions—Draymond Green. Fortunately, we have produced something special that deals with this sort of emotional explosion in the cauldron of competition. On a more serious note, we couldn’t have built The Sessions around a more appropriate subject—someone fiery, impetuous, talented, but also thoughtful, curious, candid, and super smart. No matter the outcome of the series and no matter what commentators say, I believe Draymond now has the inner arsenal to navigate success and failure, winning and losing, because he has a stillness inside him that can’t be swayed. I can’t wait to see how audiences will react.”

The Sessions will release on Prime Video this Friday, June 17th. The trailer for the upcoming documentary can be found below.

“I’m excited for the world to see me go on a journey they could’ve never imaged me embarking on. Meditation, Zen, and mindfulness bring a new balance for me. The Sessions starts a deep dive into the mind of me, Draymond Green—the player, the father, and the person. I hope you enjoy this journey as much as I did!”
