THE SPORTS GENE - DAVID EPSTEIN TASCHENBUCH

The truth about performance beyond the 10 000-hour theory. Are champions born or made? In The
Sports Gene  investigative journalist David Epstein unpacks the decades-long debate about
nature versus nurture in human performance. Drawing on genetics  physiology and psychology 
Epstein explores how elite athletes push the limits of body and mind - from the DNA variations
that enhance endurance to the training cultures that mould world-class performers. Blending
science with gripping storytelling  he reveals that success in sport is far more complex than
talent or practice alone. An essential read for fans of Outliers   Range   and anyone
fascinated by how and why humans excel. 'A wonderful book. Thoughtful... fascinating' Malcolm
Gladwell 'Terrific and unblinking... a timely corrective to the talent-denial industry' Ed
Smith  New Statesman 'Endlessly fascinating' Daily Mail 'Captivating  fascinating' New York
Times
