High Ten
An Inspiring Story About Building Great Team Culture
“On every team across every sport and every business, a cohesive and inclusive culture remains the most fundamental objective. When a coach or leader wins the team’s heart and respect, success always follows closely behind. For building a powerful culture, I give this book a High Ten!” “Respect, inclusion, and teamwork are at the foundation of every great team. These winning hallmarks can also be difficult for a coach or leader to develop. Martin’s book gives you the tools to identify and solve some of the the biggest challenges facing your team.” “MMA is the epitome of an individual sport, but I learned it takes a team to get you properly prepared. A positive culture can make an average team reach for excellence and a negative culture can bring down the best. This book will help you build a team to succeed.” “Successful enterprises are built on an organizational culture that empowers everyone to embrace the purpose of a day as if they are part of a movement or a cause. High Ten lays out how to forge the warrior spirit that defines highly successful teams.” “Winning at the highest level is not one or two big things, it’s a thousand little things done right. The details of culture are first and foremost. Culture is the heart and soul of every great team and cannot be left to chance. High Ten proves culture is not an accident - it’s an action.” “As the leader of any organization or team, developing a culture of trust and discipline is your number one priority. There are few things as satisfying as working toward a common goal with a team of people you appreciate and admire. Read this book and you will be on your way to building that type of team.” “Culture is a powerful force that improves teamwork and creates sustained success. If you want to improve your team, business or relationships, read this book!” “Being part of a great team gives you confidence and direction as an athlete. To be side by side with a teammate chasing greatness creates a culture of winning. Let High Ten show you how to be a better leader of culture.” “High Ten proves to achieve success in an industry that is both uniquely collaborative and highly competitive, it's critical to build a team that feels respected, trusted, appreciated, and heard. That feels cared for and inspired. If you can create that environment, anything is possible...absolutely anything!" “Winning certainly matters, but building cohesive teams requires establishing and sustaining a positive organizational culture that will ultimately deliver performance. High Ten delivers with the ‘Culture Coach’ – an outstanding lesson in mentor-mentee relationships that highlights the importance of a lifelong learning mindset.” “To build a winning culture, a team must value selfishness, integrity, loyalty and accountability. The great teams maintain these values during the toughest times. If your goal is to get your organization to buy into your values, the story of High Ten is your blueprint to do it.” “Football is a team sport in which culture can make all the difference. I have watched Martin create winning team culture with both teams and businesses. This book shows you how to do it.” “To lead out of hard situations, I found a well-trained team with a culture of excellence, competition and resilience is critical to success. If I didn’t have a team with great culture fighting for me, I would not be here today. Hopefully you’ll never need your team to save your life like me, but the information in High Ten might save your business.” “High Ten is a culture bedrock from which to build any organization or team. Through gripping stories and an experienced lens, this will have every leader ready to positively impact their own environments and better cultivate future success." “Few people recognize racing as a team sport, but a group of athletes, engineers, mechanics, and a driver all contribute individual talents to drive the team’s success. Successful teams have an unselfish culture where teammates can challenge each other to grow while holding each other accountable to the mission. High Ten can help you build that type of team.” “Everyone knows culture is at the core of every great team, but few people know how to build it. High Ten is your blueprint for assessing and adjusting your current culture. If you are a leader in any capacity, let Martin help turn your team into a great group of fire-breathing dragons!” “Culture is the backbone of any team or organization. A weak one will crumble, while a strong one will give a unified purpose to all and help you achieve your ultimate goals. High Ten will make your culture-game strong!” “BOTH HANDS ON DECK! - Martin Rooney is once again ON POINT and ON FIRE. In his latest book, High Ten, he clarifies business culture, team productivity and personal inspiration that you can take to a new level of success. This “story within a story” will leave you and your team members blessed, changed for the better, and in position to win.” ”The building of a team and a culture is driven by trust. Embracing and genuinely loving one another is the method by which trust is built. Martin Rooney’s book shows you how to build the kind of trust necessary to create a winning team.” “I’ve coached teams from four different nations and culture is the most important step in building a team. If the team is not on the same page culturally, working together toward a common goal is extremely hard. Let Martin’s book help you find the Keepers and lose your Vultures.”
