Riassunto

Nella longlist per il William Hill Sports Book of the Year Award, Simon Timson e Chelsea Warr erano i Performance Director di UK Sport, incaricati dell'obiettivo oltraggioso di garantire al Team GB e ParalympicsGB un successo ancora maggiore a Rio rispetto al 2012. Qualcosa che nessun'altra nazione ospitante aveva mai ottenuto nei successivi Giochi. In The Talent Lab, Owen Slot offre un accesso unico all'intelligenza del Team GB, condividendo per la prima volta le incredibili scoperte e intuizioni che hanno scoperto e che spesso vanno ben oltre lo sport. Utilizzando lezioni da organizzazioni lontane come la Yehudi Menuhin School of Music, l'NFL Draft, il Royal College of Surgeons e la SAS, mostra come il talento può essere scoperto, creato, plasmato e sostenuto. Descrivendo il successo di personaggi del calibro di Chris Hoy, Max Whitlock, Adam Peaty, Ed Clancy, Lizzy Yarnold, Dave Henson, Tom Daley, Jessica Ennis-Hill, Katherine Grainger, i Brownlee Brothers, Helen Glover, Anthony Joshua e la squadra femminile di hockey, The Talent Lab racconta come è stato fatto e come qualsiasi squadra, azienda o individuo potrebbe imparare da questo.
