Review:
"Although it's common to find community at Equinox, Byron and Charles found uncommon friendship in one another. Together, they discovered parallels that exist between sports and business, making this an empowering read for anyone in a leadership role."― Harvey Spevak, CEO and Partner, Equinox
"Reading this book made me feel like I was in the locker room with Coach Scott. His leadership helped me jumpstart my career and in this book you really get a play-by-play of his winning philosophy."―Kyrie Irving, Cleveland Cavaliers
"Success that looks like a slam-dunk rarely is. Byron and Charlie chronicle the strikingly similar mental attitudes, preparation, work-ethic, fortitude, failures and foibles that has led to their success in very different fields and sparked their unlikely friendship. Their stories and the lessons they draw from their personal experiences will be of value both on the court and in the corporate arena."― Lena Goldberg, senior lecturer, Harvard Business School
"I had the greatest opportunity to coach Byron and I knew he'd be a great coach one day. Reading the book reaffirmed my feeling that he's a great leader and motivator who gets to the heart of what makes players tick."― Coach Larry Brown
