Quotes

“Ryan Hawk, an accomplished host of a successful leadership podcast, is also a former Ohio high school athlete coached by Brook Cupps. They have joined forces to present this highly competitive team- sport-centered treatise on leading by establishing highly personal core values. Hawk's vocal enthusiasm makes him sound much like a cheerleader. Cupps is noticeably slower and a bit dour in comparison. Strangely, they make a pleasing audio performance combination. It would be helpful for listeners to be more than reasonably knowledgeable about basketball strategy, rules, and regulations in order to follow the authors' parallels to leadership off the court.” AudioFile MagazineThe Score That Matters is profoundly helpful, yet simple and accessible. And I really like the way Ryan and Brook use their different voices to make it compelling. This book is transformational.” —Patrick Lencioni, National Bestselling Author, The Five Dysfunctions of a Team and The Six Types of Working Genius“In a world fixated on external accomplishments, Ryan Hawk and Brook Cupps remind us that the real score that matters is the one that aligns with our purpose and values, guiding us on a path to becoming better individuals and leaders. This book is a beacon of light in a world often overshadowed by superficial accomplishments, and I’m grateful for the wisdom it imparts.” —Buzz Williams, Head Men’s Basketball Coach, Texas A&M University
