Be Where Your Feet Are

Buchzusammenfassung

Scott O’Neil is one of America’s most widely regarded sports executives, with more than 25 years’ experience in the NFL, NHL, and NBA. Formerly the CEO of the New Jersey Devils and Philadelphia 76ers, and the President of Madison Square Garden Sports, O’Neil lives in Pennsylvania with his wife and daughters. This is his first book.

In 2012, after being dismissed as president of Madison Square Garden Sports—a role he considered the peak of his career—the author faced a devastating low point. Instead of rushing back into the corporate world to prove himself, he chose to slow down, reconnect with loved ones, and embrace the present moment. This theme of prioritizing what truly matters is echoed in Vai Sikahema’s story, whose parents sold parts of their home in Tonga to fund a deeply meaningful religious journey, demonstrating the power of aligning actions with core values. Similarly, the author’s use of the “Battle at Kruger” video to inspire his team at Madison Square Garden reinforced the importance of teamwork and proactive support, lessons applicable beyond the workplace. Failure, another universal experience, is framed as an opportunity for growth, urging us to learn from setbacks and use them constructively. Finally, the idea of assuming good intentions is illustrated through Jill Snodgrass’s journey of reframing her perception of being “abandoned” by her birth mother, ultimately finding compassion and understanding. These stories collectively emphasize mindfulness, values-driven living, resilience, and empathy as guiding principles for a fulfilling life.
