ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS

I am humbled and grateful to have had so many people contribute to my life and work over the years. This book can’t contain all the gratitude I feel, but I hope to name a few and beg forgiveness of those whose names I failed to mention here.

Thanks to the people at West Point who helped inspire the Performance Enhancement Center and those who continue the legacy today of peak performance. Coach Jim Young, Coach Bob Sutton, Bruce Batten, Ned Doyle, Bill Francis, Robert Brown, Carl Ohlson, and many more. . . .

I want to thank Brian Hackett, my partner, for pushing all those years to start the business and follow my passion of helping others.

Thank you to Stephen S. Power at AMACOM, along with Betsy Thorpe and Karen Alley.

Thanks to the Jedi Masters at Apex Performance: Lisa Grossman, Amy Toms, Marcus Washington, and James Schwabach, for all their help and support, and for letting Yoda help lead the way.

Thank you also to Christa Csoka and Susan Wolfe, for their efforts to keep it all together.
