Synopsis "Top Game Winning, Losing and a New Understanding of Sport"

DescriptionWhy have some nations been at the top of the Olympics medal tally fordecades? Why is it that India is still to win an Olympic athletics medal? Whatdoes it take to become a Roger Federer or Novak Djokovic, a Muhammad Alior Viswanathan Anand? Why do we see black sportspersons dominating certainsports but not others?Sport is full of many such intriguing, largely unanswered questions. Thisbook trawls through history and sports science to come up with somefascinating answers. It helps us understand why, for instance, the top threein men's tennis have won over 50 Grand Slams between them, and whysome excellent sportspersons or teams end up losing even when they are onthe verge of victory. In ten chapters, Binoo John looks at the early role ofparental ambition; Anders Ericson's famous theory on human achievementand excellence; the important role of national wealth and aspiration; and thecritical role of a burning desire to win. Along the way, he also shoots downsome popular and accepted notions of sporting excellence.A grand sweep of modern sporting history and the making of champions, TopGame is a great read-not only for every sports enthusiast and sportsperson, but also for anyone interested in the mystery, the glory-and also thetragedy-of human endeavour.
