'Elite athletes aren't born. They're made.' Michael Johnson From a
living icon of the Olympic Games - as both an athlete and now as a
BBC broadcaster - Gold Rush is a compelling analysis of the
fascinating combination of psychological and personal qualities, as
well as internal and external factors, that go to create an Olympic
champion. This exciting new book is based on Michael Johnson's own
experiences as an iconic four-time Olympic champion, and on the
knowledge he has gleaned as a top-class coach and motivational
speaker. It also features, uniquely, more than a dozen exclusive
and insightful interviews with Olympic legends from across several
different sports who between them have claimed more than 50 gold
medals over the past 30 years. In essence, Johnson has assembled
his very own Olympic Hall of Fame in assessing the DNA of true
champions. Gold Rush is themed around chapters in which Johnson
will discuss each of the key qualities/factors. He expertly feeds
in fascinating first-person testimonies from the Olympic legends.
In the process he builds up a definitive knowledge bank of
expertise and experience from athletes who have been on this
fascinating journey, encountered the highs and the lows, but
ultimately reached the summit - an Olympic gold medal. Johnson's
interviewees include: Usain Bolt Carl Lewis Sally Gunnell Seb Coe
Daley Thompson Cathy Freeman Ian Thorpe Michael Phelps Rebecca
Adlington Chris Hoy Steve Redgrave Matthew Pinsent Lennox Lewis
