Praise for High Ten
“On every team across every sport and every business, a cohesive and inclusive culture remains the most fundamental objective. When a coach or leader wins the team's heart and respect, success always follows closely behind. For building a powerful culture, I give this book a High Ten!”
– Howie Long, NFL Hall of Fame, Super Bowl Champion and eight-time Pro Bowl, Analyst Fox Sports

– Kyle Shanahan, Head Coach, San Francisco 49ers
“MMA is the epitome of an individual sport, but I learned it takes a team to get you properly prepared. A positive culture can make an average team reach for excellence and a negative culture can bring down the best. This book will help you build a team to succeed.”
– Forrest Griffin, UFC Light Heavyweight Champion and Hall of Fame, Vice President of Athlete Development, UFC Performance Center

– Don Katz, Audible Founder and Executive Chairman
“Winning at the highest level is not one or two big things, it's a thousand little things done right. The details of culture are first and foremost. Culture is the heart and soul of every great team and cannot be left to chance. High Ten proves culture is not an accident; it's an action.”
– Phil Simms, Superbowl MVP, CBS Sports Analyst
“As the leader of any organization or team, developing a culture of trust and discipline is your number one priority.

– Frankie Edgar, UFC Lightweight Champion
“High Ten proves that to achieve success in an industry that is both uniquely collaborative and highly competitive, it's critical to build a team that feels respected, trusted, appreciated, and heard. That feels cared for and inspired. If you can create that environment, anything is possible – absolutely anything!”
– Karen Baker Landers, two-time Oscar winner for Best Sound, The Bourne Ultimatum and Skyfall

– Colonel Nicholas Gist, Director, Department of Physical Education, “Master of the Sword,” United States Military Academy
