About This Book
An investigative look at the biological and environmental factors that drive elite athletic performance. David Epstein explores the nature versus nurture debate, examining how DNA, training, and physiology intersect to create world-class athletes. The book challenges the '10,000-hour rule' by analyzing research on genetic traits, ethnic diversity in sports, and the limits of human potential.
