<p><b>The truth about performance beyond the 10,000-hour theory.</b></p><p>Are champions born or made? In <i>The Sports Gene,</i> investigative journalist <b>David Epstein</b> unpacks the decades-long debate about <b>nature versus nurture</b> 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.</p><p>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 <i>Outliers</i>, <i>Range</i>, and anyone fascinated by how and why humans excel.</p><p>'A wonderful book. Thoughtful... fascinating' Malcolm Gladwell</p><p>'Terrific and unblinking... a timely corrective to the talent-denial industry' Ed Smith, <i>New Statesman</i></p><p>'Endlessly fascinating' <i>Daily Mail</i></p><p>'Captivating, fascinating' <i>New York Times</i></p>
