'A wonderful book. Thoughtful...fascinating' Malcolm Gladwell Do
you believe some people are born athletes? Is sporting talent
innate or something that can be achieved through endurance and
practise? In this ground-breaking and entertaining exploration of
athletic success, award-winning writer David Epstein gets to the
heart of the great nature vs. nurture debate, and explodes myths
about how and why humans excel. Along the way, Epstein: - Exposes
the flaws in the so-called 10,000-hour rule that states that
rigorous practice from a young age is the only route to success. -
Shows why some skills that we imagine are innate are not - like the
bullet-fast reactions of a baseball player. - Uncovers why other
characteristics that we assume are entirely voluntary, like the
motivation to practice, might in fact have important genetic
components. Throughout, The Sports Gene forces us to rethink the
very nature of success.
