Nathan Whitaker

 After winning a Super Bowl ring with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and witnessing teamwork and leadership from his time in the scouting departments of the Bucs and Jacksonville Jaguars, he talked Tony Dungy into writing a book. That book, his first, was the #1 New York Times bestseller, Quiet Strength, and he has gone on to write numerous other books (11 of which have become NYT bestsellers).
