"Insightful, thoughtful, and altogether wonderful." DANIEL COYLE,
New York Times bestselling author of THE TALENT CODE "This book is
a must read." EDDIE JONES, Head Coach, England Rugby "An engrossing
guidebook for youth athletes, parents, coaches and perhaps even
fantasy-league fans looking for a little insight." The Washington
Post THE SECRETS OF SUPERHUMAN PERFORMANCE THE BEST reveals how the
most incredible sportspeople in the world get to the top and stay
there. It is a unique look at the path to sporting greatness; a
story of origins, serendipity, practice, genetics and the
psychology of excellence, as well as of sports science and cutting
edge technology. Packed with gripping personal stories and
exclusive interviews with top athletes including Siya Kolisi,
Marcus Rashford, Pete Sampras, Steph Curry, Jamie Carragher, Ian
Poulter, Helen Glover, Ada Hegerberg, Elena Delle Donne, Joey Votto
and Mike Hussey, it explains how the best athletes develop the
extraordinary skills that allow them to perform remarkable feats
under extreme pressure. Get inside the minds of champions and
understand first-hand what makes them perform during high-octane
competition, what they think about in the heat of the moment and
what drives them to do what they do. By combining examples from
numerous original interviews with top athletes and leading sports
science research, THE BEST deconstructs superhuman performance and
answers the question on every sports fan's mind: "How did they do
that?" "Fascinating and insightful... The Best isn't a one size
fits all, it's a highly thought out, well-researched and accessible
book that gives recommendations based on context and sport." JOANNE
