"'The Book' is the brainchild of two buddies, Steve Butler and Bob
Troutwine.... Liberty (high school) has adopted most of Troutwine's
ideas....What separates Liberty is how far they have taken these ideas,
how closely they adhere to them, and that it's all written down and
distributed to coaches, players and parents.... There are a lot of
factors for Liberty's success, and this is definitely one of
them." - Sam Mellinger

“Hiring the Profilers” by Peter Rebhahn
For a new generation of job seekers, a polished resume may not be
enough. They may need a winning personality, literally.
More and more employers these days are asking job candidates to take
personality tests as pert of the hiring process; in fact, personality
testing is now a $400 million Industry, according to an estimate by the
Association of Test Publishers. The reason is simple, says Industrial
psychologist Robert Troutwine, Ph.D. "No company would hire without
interviewing, but most do a very poor Job of it," he says, especially
for entry-level jobs.
No matter how you slice it, employers score, Troutwine says.
Corporations that administer the test online can screen out candidates
who don't match Job profiles. And the lucky ones they select for
interviews are far more likely to be performers than slackers.

“BUILDING TEAM PLAYERS-Keeping his Head in the Game” by Carolyn K Chapman
Over the years he’s [Troutwine] become an expert with expansion teams
and counts the Jaguars, Panthers and Browns among his clients.
“We use the TAP results as a part of our process of assessing players
for the draft each year, and we review the Troutwine profiles of veterans
we may consider signing. Over the years we have tracked reports and
I have witnessed the accuracy of these results,” says Bill Polian,
president of the Indianapolis Colts. Another endorsement comes from
Bill Belichick, defensive coordinator of the New York Jets:
“It [TAP] has helped me understand how a player will fit into the
program. We have used this process over the years to evaluate both
players and staff. I can tell you from my experience it’s very accurate.
It can give you tremendous insight into yourself, your program and your
players.”

“Troutwine may see into Patriots’ future” by Ron Borges
Since 1984, Troutwine has done for the NFL what he previously did for years
for corporate America: assess clients’ potential employees. With the dawning
of free agency and the kind of bonus money that is now being laid out, the need
for as much information as possible about the potential of a draftee or a
high-priced free agent has grown, and with it a new wing of NFL scouting.
