“I have known Jerry for over twenty years; we worked together at Duke and culminating now as head coach of the Utah Jazz. He has been a friend, a confidant, and a profound mentor with enormous influence on my leadership and coaching skill set over the years. Jerry's unique and innovative approach to athletics and life is unparalleled. His latest book, The Competitive Buddha, is arguably his best work of his forty-year career, and it will inspire you as it has me to continue your journey to be the best you can be in all aspects of sports and life. This is a remarkable book.” (from Amazon)
