“The holidays are about sharing,” said Elite Fitness Systems Founder and President Dave Tate. “This book enables us to not only share with our readers the same advice that has helped our team members reach elite levels in their respective fields, but also give back to a great organization like the Make-A-Wish Foundation.”
Tate added that Elite chose to support the Make-A-Wish Foundation because this organization and the children whom it serves share many of the same values that our team members have spent their lives striving toward.
