"There's no bigger stage in baseball than a World Series between the New York Yankees and the Los Angeles Dodgers, and there's no bigger star than Japanese slugger Shohei Ohtani. The 30-year-old's ability to hit mammoth home runs, pitch over 100 mph and steal bases with ease got him a $700 million contract from the Dodgers this past offseason. But despite his on-field exploits, the 30-year-old is also known for being one of the most humble players in the league. It's an approach that was instilled in him when he was just a promising high school athlete. Ohtani attended Hanamaki Higashi High School, where coach Hiroshi Sasaki designed the athletic program to shape his players as people in addition to as athletes, according to journalist Jeff Fletcher's 2022 book 'Sho-Time'."

Creator & Author of "Sell Like a Spy" | Foreign Policy Advisor & Risk Consultant | Founder @ Challenger Hill Consulting
Thanks to Kenneth Dekleva for the wonderful review of Sell Like a Spy in The Cipher Brief. In addition to being a psychiatrist, Ken is deeply steeped in the world of espionage and has written several spy novels so I really appreciate his positive view of my book. It's also great to have someone with his psychiatry background unpack some of write about in the book and what I often say in my talks - spies often see themselves as closer to a therapist than a James Bond type when it comes to the granular aspects of their work. https://lnkd.in/eYYMfzDP

It was a thrill of a lifetime to have met Luis Tiant, and it was an honor to have played my small part in telling his story to the world in SON OF HAVANA. A legend has passed away today.
