The truth about performance beyond the 10,000-hour theory.

Are champions born or made? In The Sports Gene, investigative journalist David Epstein unpacks the decades-long debate about nature versus nurture 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.

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 Outliers, Range, and anyone fascinated by how and why humans excel.

'A wonderful book. Thoughtful... fascinating' Malcolm Gladwell

'Terrific and unblinking... a timely corrective to the talent-denial industry' Ed Smith, New Statesman
