Don Yaeger wrote the New York Times Best-sellers, “Pros & Cons: The Criminals Who Play in the NFL”, “Never Die Easy: The Autobiography of Walter Payton (with Walton Payton)”, “Ya Gotta Believe!: My Roller-Coaster Life as a Screwball Pitcher and Part-Time Father, and My Hope-Filled Fight Against Brain Cancer”(with Tug McGraw). He also wrote books on Jerry Tarkanian’s battle with the NCAA, how Notre Dame Football betrayed its ideals for glory and the untold story of the Duke Lacross Rape Case.
Don spent ten years at Sports Illustrated working on many of the magazine’s most significant stories including the first national investigation of steroids in baseball and the future of Internet sports gaming. He has written and co-authored ten sports-related books.
Don Yaeger met and conducted interviews with some of the greatest sports figures of our time, Michael Jordan, Walter Payton, Tug McGraw, Mia Hamm, Emmitt Smith, Serena Williams, Jimmy Connors and countless others. He has witnessed the untold stories behind their successes. When he speaks to audiences, he shares with the audiences the path to success that these great athletes have taken.
In a keynote speech, Don Yaeger said "Success rarely presents itself without reason or cause. People do not simply find success, but rather put themselves in a position to earn it by how well they prepare and how hard they work to overcome the challenges and adversity they face in life."
The first 10 years of Don’s career were spent as a reporter for newspapers in San Antonio, Dallas and Jacksonville. During that time, he covered stories from the 1988 Presidential election to traveling with the Mujahadeen as they battled the Soviet Army in Afghanistan.
