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

4.0

The author and I have a few things in common - we are both Caucasian American males, we both are interested in nature versus nurture as it relates to athletics, and we both ran the 1/2 mile / 800 meter race in high school and college. However the author has written an excellent book considering the role of genes and training in high performing athletes, and I have simple listened to the book. It was enjoyable and provided hidden insights. I would recommend it to any who want to think about race, environment, gender, and fortitude in sports and athletes.
