Award-Winning Leadership Speaker, Executive Coach & New York Times Best-Selling Author

Authorship

Over the course of the last three decades, some of the biggest names in sports and business have invited Don to help them tell their story in a book. Here are some of the words they’ve written or said about the experience afterwards.

Brittney Payton

Daughter of Walter Payton

David Ross

Two-Time World Series Champion

Warrick Dunn

Former Tampa Bay Buccaneers Running Back

Bubba Watson

Two-Time Masters Champion

Brian Kilmeade & Joe Namath

Nik Wallenda

High-Wire Artist

Casey Crawford

Former Carolina Panthers Tight End

Kyle Carpenter

Medal of Honor Recipient

Deion Sanders

Head Football Coach at the University of Colorado & Former Professional Football & Baseball Player

John Wooden

Legendary head basketball coach for UCLA

I had written several books before, but Don presented me with a unique idea and it was one I enjoyed working on together. Plus, he was someone whose company I enjoyed. To work that long on a book, you have to enjoy being together.

Dale Brown

Former head basketball coach for Louisiana State University

There are few journalists in America – maybe none – who are like Don. His character, his passion, his integrity make him a special human being. Yes we wrote a book together, but today I’d tell you that if I had a son I’d want him to be Don Yaeger.

John Smoltz

Former Major League Baseball player

I wasn’t sure I’d ever do a book, but now I am glad I did. Don Yaeger made the experience a lot less challenging than I thought it would have been.

Michael Oher

Former NFL player for the Baltimore Ravens

I chose Don because of the kind of people he had worked with before. When I saw that Walter Payton had trusted him to be his writer, I knew I could trust him, too.

David Covey

Co-Founder & CEO of SMCOV

The nine of us (Dr. Covey’s children) knew we needed to find the perfect writer to help us write our father’s biography and we all looked at writers before agreeing that Don was that person. He is not just a great storyteller, he’s a great listener and he figured out how to manage all of us at once! Quite a feat!
