Eric's outlook on life is infectious, "Winning the Now" is much more than just a catchphrase or a slogan. It is truly how he lives and how I strive to live. Through our many conversations, Eric has helped me realize some of my habits preventing me from doing just that. He didn't preach at me, he didn't drill me down with memorization chants, he talked with me, but more importantly, he listened to me. With his guidance, I have reached a better place, not only in my career but in my personal life. I will be forever thankful that our paths have crossed and that I can call him a coach, nay, a friend.
