“Though it may not have been apparent at first, I quickly learned that many
of the principles and skills I learned on the soccer field and in the locker
room directly applied to my new life in an office, handling and managing
some of the brightest people I've ever met. Peter's book seamlessly brings
both worlds together and shows just how similar they can be.”
~ Danny Karbassiyoon, Co-Founder , PLAYRMAKR and Total Soccer: Road
to Glory, author of The Arsenal Yankee, first American to score at Arsenal
“You don’t have to be a soccer fan to appreciate the lessons from ‘Soccer
Thinking for Management Success.’ This is a fun and interesting read that
anyone who manages, or who one day wants to manage, will find helpful.”
~ Hon. Henry F. De Sio, Jr., 2008 COO of Obama for America and author of
Campaign Inc.: How Leadership and Organization Propelled Barack Obama to the WH
“ I tell my management students the same thing I tell my soccer teams –
communicate, support each other, and hold each other accountable. Peter
captures these lessons and more in ways that show how thinking like a
soccer player can help professionals succeed.”
~ Matt Winkler, Director, Sports Analytics & Management, American University
and Founder, The Sports Events Marketing Experience (The SEME), youth coach
