Review Quotes

Praise for ELEVATE AND DOMINATE

"I've known Prime since his days in Dallas. I have witnessed the countless wins in his life and his career. Although impressive, it is not that, which has gained my respect and admiration--but rather the losses that I've had a front row seat to witness, that through his deep faith and strong will, he has been able to conquer, and as a result, go on to be nothing less than a national treasure."
-Steve Harvey

"Coach Prime transcends the role of a typical coach, serving as a mentor and life guide to his players. He shapes them into not only skilled athletes but also resilient individuals, ready for life's challenges. His presence offers a blend of inspiration and strength, molding his players into better men, both on and off the field. That's why we love him."
-Gillie Da Kid and Wallo267, Million Dollaz Worth of Game

"Oftentimes, legends aren't appreciated in their prime. It's when you look back over their work that their greatness is visible. That's not the case with Deion Sanders. His authenticity is on display. His legacy is being written in front of us. He is 100% unapologetic and that's inspiring. How often does a black man get to walk boldly and confidently in his gifts? Hardly ever. He has carved out his own path in sports, marketing, and coaching. All of it, backed with his faith in God. Whether you love him or hate him, you can't deny he's legendary."
-Dawn Staley, Women's Basketball Hall of Fame player and coach

"In every generation, there's a light bearer. Someone who offers hope and is true to who they are, no matter the circumstance or outcome. Coach Prime is that light for this generation. He has never met an obstacle he couldn't overcome, faced a challenge he wasn't ready for, or been afraid to step up when the time came. His light, hope, faith, and authenticity are the hallmarks of a great man. His story, shared here, will change lives for the better. It definitely changed mine."
-Eric Thomas, motivational speaker and New York Times bestselling author of You Owe You

"Unc is a blessing to everyone he comes across. That's just who he is. For me, in my world and in my life right now, he is a father figure. And he's that to almost everybody he talks to because he's able to make that kind of real, personal connection with so many people. He's able to accomplish what for most of us would be impossible."
-Lil Wayne

"In Elevate and Dominate, Deion Sanders draws from a lifetime of victories and vicissitudes, prosperity and pitfalls, apexes and agonies, and opportunities as well as obstacles.

-Dr. E. Dewey Smith, pastor, author, and executive coach

"He [Deion] has taken tips and tools and tricks from the field and he's bringing them to our lives. It's a beautiful book."
