Download or read book The Sports Gene written by David Epstein and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2014-04-29 with total page 370 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The New York Times bestseller – with a new afterword about early specialization in youth sports – from the author of Range: Why Generalists Triumph in a Specialized World. The debate is as old as physical competition. Are stars like Usain Bolt, Michael Phelps, and Serena Williams genetic freaks put on Earth to dominate their respective sports? Or are they simply normal people who overcame their biological limits through sheer force of will and obsessive training? In this controversial and engaging exploration of athletic success and the so-called 10,000-hour rule, David Epstein tackles the great nature vs. nurture debate and traces how far science has come in solving it. Through on-the-ground reporting from below the equator and above the Arctic Circle, revealing conversations with leading scientists and Olympic champions, and interviews with athletes who have rare genetic mutations or physical traits, Epstein forces us to rethink the very nature of athleticism.

Download or read book Range written by David Epstein and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2021-04-27 with total page 369 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The #1 New York Times bestseller that has all America talking—with a new afterword on expanding your range—as seen on CNN's Fareed Zakaria GPS, Morning Joe, CBS This Morning, and more. “The most important business—and parenting—book of the year.” —Forbes “Urgent and important. . . an essential read for bosses, parents, coaches, and anyone who cares about improving performance.” —Daniel H. Pink Shortlisted for the Financial Times/McKinsey Business Book of the Year Award Plenty of experts argue that anyone who wants to develop a skill, play an instrument, or lead their field should start early, focus intensely, and rack up as many hours of deliberate practice as possible. If you dabble or delay, you’ll never catch up to the people who got a head start. But a closer look at research on the world’s top performers, from professional athletes to Nobel laureates, shows that early specialization is the exception, not the rule. David Epstein examined the world’s most successful athletes, artists, musicians, inventors, forecasters and scientists. He discovered that in most fields—especially those that are complex and unpredictable—generalists, not specialists, are primed to excel. Generalists often find their path late, and they juggle many interests rather than focusing on one. They’re also more creative, more agile, and able to make connections their more specialized peers can’t see. Provocative, rigorous, and engrossing, Range makes a compelling case for actively cultivating inefficiency. Failing a test is the best way to learn. Frequent quitters end up with the most fulfilling careers. The most impactful inventors cross domains rather than deepening their knowledge in a single area. As experts silo themselves further while computers master more of the skills once reserved for highly focused humans, people who think broadly and embrace diverse experiences and perspectives will increasingly thrive.

Here's the perfect gift for a client or yourself! Finally, a book with a motivational fitness quote for every day of the year!!! "Getting fit is all about reaching for, achieving, and sustaining a commitment to take care of yourself for the rest of your life." - Dara Torres (Olympic Gold Medalist) "Rather than finding reasons why something cannot be done, though you know it needs to be done, get on with doing it. See problems as challenges." - Stuart McRobert (Fitness Writer) "I know a lot of people say: 'If I had the money then I'd be able to achieve health, fitness, peace of mind and joy.' I can't say it enough times: your health account and your bank account are synonymous." - Jack LaLanne (Fitness Guru) For most of us, getting in shape is not easy. It involves a certain level of planning, discipline and most importantly motivation! Enter 'The Great Big Fitness Quote Book' compiled by Cameron M. Clark. A book of over 365 inspirational quotes that actually apply to health, fitness, nutrition and well-being. Think about it that's a new motivational quote for EVERY DAY OF THE YEAR! Finally, a book that collects the inspirational words of many of the best and most successful coaches, trainers, athletes, martial artists and other accomplished individuals into one handy volume you can access at any time! Make NO mistake! This is not your 'run-of-the-mill' book of 'inspirational' quotes taken from a few different Internet websites and then collected into one volume. There are a ton of those for sale already. Instead, this is a combination of many previously-Internet-published quotes and some that have never been published online. In fact, when Clark was looking for a resource like 'The Great Big Fitness Quote Book, ' he found one book with 'motivational quotes' on fitness that included a quote from one of the most notorious totalitarian dictators of the 20th Century. This led Clark to realize two things: that these quote books were not well-researched and that there would be a need for a book that actually compiled quotes that were applicable to health, wellness and fitness. With over 365 inspirational quotes, this is a collection that makes it easy for you to use a different quote each day to get yourself into the kind of physical shape you have always wanted to attain. This book takes on all areas of Health and Fitness such as Aging, Exercise, Fat Loss, Goal Setting, Nutrition, Overcoming Obstacles and Stress among so many others with motivational words from Olympic athletes like Dara Torres, Picabo Street and Jesse Owens. You'll also find words of wisdom from popular fitness trainers like Bob Harper, Kim Lyons, Chris Powell and Jillian Michaels. Other fitness gurus quoted include Arnold Schwarzenegger, Jack LaLanne and Stuart McRobert. There are also quotes from martial artists like the legendary Bruce Lee, Georges St. Pierre and the first female UFC Champion, Ronda Rousey. Organized into nearly 50 different categories, these individually-numbered quotations are effective to read within context and easy for you to return to read again and again whenever the need for inspiration arises. Also included as a special bonus at the end of this book, there is a brief biographical information on each man and woman quoted, such as their occupation, their achievements along with the titles of some of the published works they may have written. Clark felt this information is useful in helping the reader to seek out the source of this wisdom and more importantly know they won't be reposting or quoting tyrannical dictators who oppressed their own people. "The Great Big Fitness Quote Book" is a 'must' for any practitioner of exercise and sports be they an amateur powerlifter, a busy mom looking for a quick workout or the aspiring athlete who just wants to take it to the next level.

Download or read book Shoe Dog written by Phil Knight and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2016-04-26 with total page 368 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this instant and tenacious New York Times bestseller, Nike founder and board chairman Phil Knight “offers a rare and revealing look at the notoriously media-shy man behind the swoosh” (Booklist, starred review), illuminating his company’s early days as an intrepid start-up and its evolution into one of the world’s most iconic, game-changing, and profitable brands. Bill Gates named Shoe Dog one of his five favorite books of the year and called it “an amazing tale, a refreshingly honest reminder of what the path to business success really looks like. It’s a messy, perilous, and chaotic journey, riddled with mistakes, endless struggles, and sacrifice. Phil Knight opens up in ways few CEOs are willing to do.” Fresh out of business school, Phil Knight borrowed fifty dollars from his father and launched a company with one simple mission: import high-quality, low-cost running shoes from Japan. Selling the shoes from the trunk of his car in 1963, Knight grossed eight thousand dollars that first year. Today, Nike’s annual sales top $30 billion. In this age of start-ups, Knight’s Nike is the gold standard, and its swoosh is one of the few icons instantly recognized in every corner of the world. But Knight, the man behind the swoosh, has always been a mystery. In Shoe Dog, he tells his story at last. At twenty-four, Knight decides that rather than work for a big corporation, he will create something all his own, new, dynamic, different. He details the many risks he encountered, the crushing setbacks, the ruthless competitors and hostile bankers—as well as his many thrilling triumphs. Above all, he recalls the relationships that formed the heart and soul of Nike, with his former track coach, the irascible and charismatic Bill Bowerman, and with his first employees, a ragtag group of misfits and savants who quickly became a band of swoosh-crazed brothers. Together, harnessing the electrifying power of a bold vision and a shared belief in the transformative power of sports, they created a brand—and a culture—that changed everything.

Download or read book The Book of Basketball written by Bill Simmons and published by ESPN. This book was released on 2010-12-07 with total page 754 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • The NBA according to The Sports Guy—now updated with fresh takes on LeBron, the Celtics, and more! Foreword by Malcom Gladwell • “The work of a true fan . . . it might just represent the next phase of sports commentary.”—The Atlantic Bill Simmons, the wildly opinionated and thoroughly entertaining basketball addict known to millions as ESPN’s The Sports Guy, has written the definitive book on the past, present, and future of the NBA. From the age-old question of who actually won the rivalry between Bill Russell and Wilt Chamberlain to the one about which team was truly the best of all time, Simmons opens—and then closes, once and for all—every major pro basketball debate. Then he takes it further by completely reevaluating not only how NBA Hall of Fame inductees should be chosen but how the institution must be reshaped from the ground up, the result being the Pyramid: Simmons’s one-of-a-kind five-level shrine to the ninety-six greatest players in the history of pro basketball. And ultimately he takes fans to the heart of it all, as he uses a conversation with one NBA great to uncover that coveted thing: The Secret of Basketball. Comprehensive, authoritative, controversial, hilarious, and impossible to put down (even for Celtic-haters), The Book of Basketball offers every hardwood fan a courtside seat beside the game’s finest, funniest, and fiercest chronicler.

But, for Nick Hornby, his devotion to the game has provided one of few constants in a life where the meaningful things - like growing up, leaving home and forming relationships, both parental and romantic - have rarely been as simple or as uncomplicated as his love for Arsenal. Brimming with wit and honesty, Fever Pitch, catches perfectly what it really means to be a football fan - and in doing so, what it means to be a man. 'Hornby has put his finger on truths that have been unspoken for generations' Irish Times 'Funny, wise and true' Roddy Doyle
