The Sports Gene: Inside the Science of Extraordinary Athletic Performance by David Epstein

4.5

 It turns out that people from certain cultures, tribes, or lineages are truly born with different advantages - these push certain people towards certain sports, and in some cases, towards absolutely domination. The book explores many fascinating real-life examples of people discovering their knack for certain sports, and takes us from the far reaches of African tribes, to the snowy forests of Europe, to the island of Jamaica. It turns out that some of us do have genetic predispositions towards explosive sports, endurance sports, or no sports at all.

A must-read for any sports fan, coach, trainer, or athlete.
