As a former Los Angeles Dodgers player who transitioned into entrepreneurship, I deeply resonate with the message in Jay Dixon's 'After The Game.' Dixon's insights are not just motivational; they are a practical guide for any athlete looking to redefine success beyond the field.
"I love this. It resonates so deep with not only me but any athlete really at any level. I'm gonna keep reading and would love to help and get involved"
"I had the pleasure of working with Jay on the sale of my business, during which time I was consistently impressed by his abilities and skills. One of the things that impressed me the most about Jay was his vision. I was concerned with maintaining my company’s culture, team, and ensuring a successful outcome. Jay got it."
Their integrity was commendable... Moreover, they were transparent, and they valued me throughout the process. I appreciated that they didn’t treat me as a commodity and that they cared about me.
"I am writing this endorsement with the highest regard for Jay and his book! This book will help a lot of people move forward in their lives and achieve the success that their heart desires!"
"Understood our business well....and captured the size of our company and treated us like so. We never felt pressured to make a decision so I’d say they cared about us and you rarely get that feeling."
A necessary resource for both current and former athletes.
“Thanks Jay! I appreciate all of your work to make this happen!” Thanks Jay, and I hope can do more of these together in the future
