"It is easy to lead teams when things are going well. Hunter’s book tackles the most challenging aspects of coaching. It’s an accessible, engaging read that will have you taking notes in the margins and elevating your leadership game. Coaching coaches is something our profession needs more of, and I’m excited to apply his ideas with my own teams in the near future."

"This is a book for every coach no matter the sport, young or old. Written by a coach who has lived it for coaches who are living it. I’ve been coaching for 37 years and even to me this book is helpful in identifying where our players are in their “level of care”. Hunter gives us ways of reaching players where they’re at. He also gives insights on how to help players understand who they are and what they need in order to become a more productive part of their team. This book is a great blueprint for how to become a better coach overall, which will lead to more success. Care to Compete is a must read."
