PRAISE FOR ELITE "Our military does team at the highest level and better than anyone in the world. The lessons in this book can be applied by any team striving to reach the elite level in any sport." —DAN QUINN, Head Coach, Atlanta Falcons "Warning: if you want to be average, don't read this book. Nick Hays doesn't just want to help you be good or great. He wants to help you be Elite! Based on his experiences as a Navy SEAL and his work with professional sports teams and top performers in business, Nick knows what it takes to rise to the top and become Elite. I can only think of a few people with the qualifications and experiences to write a book like this and I'm thankful he did. I hope you read it because I know Nick's stories and lessons will make you better." —JON GORDON, Bestsellling Author of The Energy Bus and Training Camp "Viewing Nick's extraordinary achievements, it might be easy to see him as someone who had success come easily. Nick breaks this notion and describes how he persevered through his own uphill battles. Prepare to be inspired." —EUGENE SOLTES, Jakurski Family Associate Professor of Business Administration, Harvard Business School "From the Battlefield to Boston, Hell Week to Harvard… Nick shares some great insights into the mindset of a Navy SEAL and how it can be applied to any profession. Elite gives business leaders and teams valuable insights in how to approach prioritization, decision making and adverse conditions to make the most of any situation. If you only take one thing away from this book—it should be that you are capable of reaching another level." —KRISTIAN HAIGH, Senior Director, eBay Inc.
