"We live in a culture that emphasizes winning, often at a cost. José Rijo-Berger emphasizes the importance of the journey. It's less about working toward the mere "win" on the scoreboard and more about what it takes for young athletes to become their best selves. It's a unique approach that only a pro ball player turned business owner, coach, dedicated father, and mentor can provide."

"José can reach into a kid's mind and heart and stroke enthusiasm when a parent cannot. As a coach myself, I've intently watched José work and have come to appreciate the true impact a coach can have. Many will tell you, "It's not about the wins. we're here to have fun." But their actions say otherwise. I was in that group. José showed me that coaching is really about teaching kids to respect themselves and their teammates, and to feel sense of brotherhood and accountability through sport. Do these right and your teams will win their fair share of games. More importantly you'll have a positive influence on kids lives."
-John Cokos
"I met José after my junior year in high school. He instilled in me the work ethic and mental toughness I needed to succeed in college and professional baseball while setting me up for success in my personal life. José has been and continues to be a huge influence."
-Matt fields, former pitcher, Toronto Blue Jays.
"I highly recommend this book to any parent who has kids involved in any sport. The things José can teach you about your relationship with your kids are extremely important to know and to follow. As the father of four children who are involved in all kinds of sports, two of whom made it through NCAA Division I schools, I know how important it is not to live vicariously through our children. Some parents are too involved and others are too passive. This book will help you strike a balance. I highly recommend it."
-Customer Dr. Ken Hutcherson, Senior Pastor, Antioch Bible Church, and former linebacker for the Dallas Cowboys and Seattle Seahawks
"José and his staff genuinely care. They treat their clients like family and handle kids the way they would treat their own children. They understand there is more to sports than just how to swing a bat or throw a ball. – Don E Mabbett, head baseball coach, Washington state university."
