CHASING MASTERY
25 Lessons to Cultivate Your Full Potential in Endurance Sports
From Matt Fitzgerald, author of 80/20 Running and How Bad Do You Want It?, a new book Chasing Mastery shares five essential processes for runners, triathletes, and cyclists to cultivate their full potential in endurance sports.
Becoming a master in anything, from sports to the arts, business to personal hobbies, takes more than just time and practice. Achieving mastery requires engaging in five processes familiar to committed endurance athletes. By incorporating these processes in their training, endurance athletes can realize their full potential and elevate not just their experience in sport, but in all aspects of their lives.
Drawing lessons from sports, history, psychology, and science, Chasing Mastery shakes up the traditional wisdom of athlete development. In the past, it was believed that mastering a skill came only after unending hours of performing the same tasks over and again. Chasing Mastery offers a counterpoint to mainstream guides like Malcolm Gladwell's Outliers, Angela Duckworth's Grit, and David Epstein's The Sports Gene. Now endurance athletes have the guide they need to truly master their sports.
Fitzgerald's thought-provoking ideas, invaluable lessons, and best practices offer runners, triathletes, cyclists, and all endurance athletes ways to transform their skills and engage their true potential.
