Endorsement:

As I read Touché by author Todd Griffee, I could not help but think of the quote by Mark Twain: "The two most important days in your life are the day you are born and the day you find out why." Griffee captures the essence of this profound statement through his personal journeys and experiences. He finds his own purpose through the unique sum of all parts which appeal to all ages and life experience levels. A well-worthy read.

I worked with Todd Griffee for several years prior to my retiring. The first thing I recognized about Griffee was his work ethic, and as I got to know him, he shared with me some of his experiences at Notre Dame. Reading Touché, put all of those achievements into perspective. Griffee always had the motto, "If I can help, I will help," and that motto lives up to itself with Griffee laying out the method for his success in a format to help others achieve their goals. Whether you are a Notre Dame fan, alumni, or subway alumni like myself, you will enjoy this glimpse into what it means to be a Notre Dame athlete.
