'A great read and a fascinating insight into performance.' Sir Clive Woodward We all want to discover our hidden talents and make an impact with them. But how? Rasmus Ankersen, an ex-footballer and performance specialist, quit his job and for six intense months lived with the world's best athletes in an attempt to answer this question. Why have the best middle distance runners grown up in the same Ethiopian village? Why are the leading female golfers from South Korea? How did one athletic club in Kingston, Jamaica, succeed in producing so many world-class sprinters? Ankersen presents his surprising conclusions in seven lessons on how anyone - or any business, organisation or team - can defy the many misconceptions of high performance and learn to build their own gold mine of real talent.

In the 1880s photographers and sports enthusiasts confidently declared the end of dead heats in sporting competition. Reflecting a broader social belief in technology, proponents of the camera stressed that the device could provide definitive proof of who won and who lost. Yet despite this remedy for the inadequate human eye, competitive races between horses, boats, and bicycles ended too close to call a sole champion. More than a century later, when cameras can subdivide the second into ten-thousandths and beyond, athletes continue to cross the finish line in ties. In this fascinating journey through the history of the photo-finish in sports, Jonathan Finn shows how innovation was animated by a drive for ever more precise tools and a quest for perfect measurement. As he traces the technological developments inspired by this crusade - from the evolution of the still camera to movie cameras, ultimately leading to complex contemporary photo-finish systems - Finn uncovers the social implications of adopting and contesting the photograph as evidence in sport. At every turn empirical obsession intersects with the unpredictability of sports, creating a paradox wherein the precision offered by photo-finish technology far exceeds the realities of human performance and its measurement. Separating athletes by the hundredth, thousandth, or ten-thousandth of a second is often a fiction that comes with significant material and cultural implications. A lively biography of a critical technology, Beyond the Finish Line illuminates the cultural role of the photo-finish in win-at-all-costs culture and warn that in our pursuit for precision we may threaten the human element of sport that galvanizes mere spectators into fans.

As athletes, we all go through it, but for some reason, no one is really talking about it. Life after sports can be a dark and confusing place as we attempt to figure out who we are without sports. What are you supposed to do with your life when your athletic career comes to an end? For years the majority of your self-confidence came from the fact that you were physically gifted and had the ability to compete among the elite. At some point athletes must realize that they are good for more than just making three-point shots, scoring goals, hitting home runs, and catching touchdown passes. The Sweet Spot: Finding Purpose In Life After Sports will help current student-athletes, former athletes, coaches, and even administrators make the transition to life after sports a little smoother. In this book, athletes will learn how to redefine themselves and how to take the lessons they learned from sports and apply them to their careers. They will also encounter the stories of many former athletes who have been in their shoes and successfully made the transition. Many student-athletes never pause to consider what life will be like once their playing career comes to an end. The truth is there will come a time when life no longer revolves around game day, practice, film sessions, team meetings, and long bus rides. Once you can no longer compete at a high level, will you be ready to attack your career and thrive as you chase your new dream or will you be like a deer caught in headlights? The choice is up to you. Are you ready to discover The Sweet Spot in your life?
