Brief review: Written by a table tennis champion turned sports reporter, the book makes a strong case that champions are made; not born. You will know more about the he athletes superstition of rituals, the curse of choking, the placebo effect, the myth of child prodigy and the power of 10,000 hours of practice and how a father made all three of his daughters world champions in chess. The book cites several champions and their painstakingly hard journey to become the best. Sports is definitely a subject which motivates a lot of us and this book will match your expectations.
