Each Branch, Each Needle cover

Harvey Dorfman rose from a childhood sickbed to his place of world renown in the field of sport psychology. A goalie on a national co-champion college soccer team, the coach of a high school basketball team that won a state championship, and the recipient of four World Series rings (three with Oakland, one with Florida), he here presents his final anecdotal recollections, including those from fourteen years spent in the dugouts of three major league teams. This third and last volume of a trilogy closes in 2010. Cover Photo by Bill Gozansky —- billgozansky.com/contact.asp

Dorfman is the best sports psychologist in the world. -- Dustin Pedroia, Boston Red Sox, AL Rookie of the Year, 2007, AL MVP, 2008
You'd be hard pressed to find a better man in the sports world. I've seen Harvey work with perennial All-Stars, MVPs, ordinary players, amateur athletes and coaches; they all walk away better than they were before they met him. -- Jeff Krushell, president, Human Sport Performance
The greatest gift I ever gave my son was an introduction to Harvey Dorfman. Harvey is a gifted and skilled practitioner ... a remarkable human being. -- Deirdre D. Young, RN, OCN, manager for Cancer Programs, Lexington Medical Center, West Columbia, S.C.
When I was playing major league baseball, Harvey Dorfman's teaching would help guide my approach, on and off the field. Little did I know that years after I had retired, I would still find myself asking how Harvey would view a certain situation. -- Jim Abbott, Sullivan Award Winner, former Major League Pitcher
Dorfman illuminates the way the body and the mind communicate with each other. -- David Brooks, columnist, New York Times
I truly believe the mental side of baseball saved my career. I thank Harvey for showing me the way. -- Roy Halladay, Philadelphia Phillies, Cy Young Award Winner, 2003
