Eight months after being named Athletic Director of the Year, Jeremy Capo walked into a meeting and walked out unemployed. When your title disappears overnight, what’s left?
Written for athletic directors, coaches, and high-performing professionals at a cross roads, Mastering the PIVOT blends memoir-level vulnerability with a practical five-step framework to reclaim clarity, integrity, and momentum, without pretending the fall didn’t hurt. Drawing on two decades in college athletics and the hard reset that followed his termination, Capo shows how to pause instead of panic, recognize cultural and leadership red flags you once ignored, and rebuild a career aligned with your leadership values—not your ego.
Built around the PIVOT framework—Pause with Purpose, Identify What Matters, Validate Your Voice, Own the Shift, Take the Brave Step—this book turns disruption into direction and a setback into a strategy.
The comeback isn’t about getting back in. It’s about becoming who you were called to be professionally and personally, in a way that’s purpose-driven.
“A pivot is not a detour. It’s an invitation. An opportunity to realign your life with the person you’re being called to become, not the role you once held.”
Capo - Thank you for putting this book out into the world. The highlight function on my Kindle was working in overdrive as I poured over your words! I’m glad our paths crossed all those years ago at CSUP and that I have gotten to follow along on your transformational journey!
