From the author of You Are Awesome: Find Your Confidence and Dare
to be Brilliant at (Almost) Anything Essential reading for an
astounding summer of sport; If you've ever wondered what makes a
champion, Bounce has the answer. What are the real secrets of
sporting success, and what lessons do they offer about life? Why
doesn't Tiger Woods "choke"? Why are the best figure skaters those
that have fallen over the most and why has one small street in
Reading produced more top table tennis players than the rest of the
country put together. Two-time Olympian and sports writer and
broadcaster Matthew Syed draws on the latest in neuroscience and
psychology to uncover the secrets of our top athletes and
introduces us to an extraordinary cast of characters, including the
East German athlete who became a man, and her husband - and the
three Hungarian sisters who are all chess grandmasters. Bounce is
crammed with fascinating stories and statistics. Looking at
controversial questions such as whether talent is more important
than practice, drugs in sport (and life) and whether black people
really are faster runners, the mind-bending Bounce is a must-read
for the hardened sports nut or brand new convert.
