Synopsis

Despite being full of interviews and anecdotes from some of the world s leading sports men and women, this book is as much about sport as Baywatch was about lifeguard techniques and Britain s Got Talent is about British people having talent. It is, first and foremost, a book about what human beings can do if they put their mind to it. And when I say human beings, I mean you. This is a book about what it takes to achieve something, anything, in any walk of life and how, when you scratch the surface of any high achiever, you find the same rag tail collection of anxieties, fears, insecurities and self-doubt that the rest of us experience too on a daily basis. The difference is that high achievers don t let the negative thoughts win. And don t kid yourself that the people in this book just got lucky ! Being lucky isn t a question of luck at all. If you want to rely on luck to succeed then try bullfighting with your eyes closed. Or do the Lottery. There are amazing sporting stories in this life-changing book about people who got to raise a World Cup or represent their country or break a record (and some did all three). But they didn t get there through luck. They achieved all they achieved by using two things a raw gift and a great attitude. The same two things that you have. So that s lucky. Contributions by Sir Clive Woodward, David Moyes, Sir Tom Finney, Martin Johnson CBE Philip Neville, Gordon Banks OBE, Jonathan Davies MBE, Gary Kirsten, Karen Barber, Dame Mary Peters, Eric Simons, Beth Tweddle and Darren Clarke Revised edition of ISBN 978-1-84590-064-9 with new and updated material.
