HOW BAD DO YOU WANT IT? revisits some of the most extraordinary
moments from the history of endurance sports to show how mental
strength allows some athletes to perform at a level way beyond
their physical limits - to will their body to do what was
previously thought biologically impossible. Drawing on cutting-edge
scientific research it suggests concrete habits and tactics we can
use to cultivate our own mental strength, whilst providing
thrilling accounts of some of the most inspiring and astonishing
feats in sporting history. In 2010 Sammy Wanjiru entered the Boston
Marathon suffering from injuries to his knee and his lower back, a
stomach virus that prevented him from training and a lifestyle that
meant he spent more time in nightclubs than on the track. He
shouldn't have even been able to finish the race, and at times he
seemed as if he literally had nothing left to give, yet in an epic
battle he crossed the finishing line first. How did he manage it?
HOW BAD DO YOU WANT IT? describes a new 'psychobiological' model of
endurance performance connecting the mind, body and brain.
Compelling accounts from triathlon, cycling, running, rowing and
swimming are viewed through the lens of this model shedding new
light on what science has to say about mental fortitude in sports.
Featured athletes include: Sammy Wanjiru, Jenny Barringer, Greg
LeMond, Willie Stewart, Cadel Evans, Joseph Sullivan, Paula
Newby-Fraser, Ryan Vail, Thomas Voeckler, Ned Overend, Steve
Prefontaine
"As I sat on the side of Hamnafield on Foula in the Shetland
Islands, looking down at my 'enormous' 38-foot ferry stowed in its
cradle on the quay in Ham Voe, over 1,000 feet below me, I
reflected on a moderately successful career to date, and wondered
how on Earth I had ended up driving what was, in effect, a floating
dust cart" After 42 years at or connected with the sea, Jeremy
Walker ended up on the Shetland Island of Foula commanding and
running a small ferry to the mainland of Shetland. Throughout the
course of his career, firstly as a seagoing deck officer with a
large, but now defunct, British shipping company, then as a
Hovercraft Commander for four years, returning to sea for a brief
period as Master of two small coastal tankers and then for the
majority of his career as a Pilot on the River Humber, he
encountered many amusing situations. In this book he attempts to
relate these stories and to illustrate the lighter side of what was
a very difficult, responsible and, at times, incredibly stressful
job. And little did he know that his career was far from over and
new opportunities and challenges would take him on for a further 13
years to eventual retirement.
