The Tyranny of Talent: How it compels and limits athletic achievement… and why you should ignore it
Description:
Are our destinies controlled by unseen factors, exerting powerful influences on how we experience the world? Beliefs about 'talent' affect how we respond to challenges, the way we think about our goals and accomplishments, and how we interact with people. This book investigates the concept of ‘talent’ in the domain that has arguably focused on it most – sport.\nFor the past two decades, Joe Baker and his colleagues have studied this concept and its value in sport and non-sport settings. For many coaches, parents, and athletes, misunderstandings about ‘talent’ continue to constrain how they think about their long-term development and achievement. This book explores the elements that affect people's likelihood of success, starting with a thorough discussion of what 'talent' is, why both nature and nurture are critical factors, and why this distinction no longer matters. Regrettably, tyrannical views of talent, held by many sport stakeholders, limit how sports are designed, discussed, and delivered, often undermining the very elements needed for long-term success. It is time for a 21st century approach to sporting talent.
