2020 NAGC Book of the Year Award Winner Finalist in the 2020 PROSE Awards
This volume explores how early potential develops into high performance in five domains: sport (specifically golf and team sports), the professions (medicine, software engineering, and professional teams), academics (mathematics and psychology), the performing arts (dance and acting), and the producing arts (culinary arts and drawing/painting). What does "raw" potential in a specific domain looks like? How can those abilities be nurtured and grown, and what psychosocial skills are necessary for this development? Personal interviews with experts in each domain provide additional insights on best practices.
