Sinossi

"Tallest Athletes" explores the extraordinary world of towering figures in sports and how their exceptional height influences their athletic careers. It examines the physiological advantages, such as increased leverage and reach, alongside the unique challenges these athletes face. Did you know that some of the tallest athletes have had to adapt their training regimens significantly to accommodate their unique biomechanics? The book also looks at how cultural perceptions and societal expectations affect opportunities for tall athletes across different sports, like basketball, volleyball, and rowing. This book offers a blend of sports biography and sports science, diving into topics such as the genetics of height and conditions like gigantism and acromegaly. It emphasizes that while height offers a competitive edge, success depends on combining physical gifts with rigorous training, mental strength, and strategic adaptation.

 
Organized into three sections, the book first introduces height as a competitive advantage, then presents biographical portraits, and finally analyzes the broader implications of height in sports. The book provides a fresh perspective by combining scientific analysis with compelling personal stories. It uses sports medicine research, biographical data, and statistical analysis to provide a holistic understanding of the advantages and disadvantages of exceptional height in sports, making it valuable for sports enthusiasts, athletes, and coaches alike.

    From the trainer and high-performance expert behind LeBron James and other superstars, a blueprint to achieving peak physical and psychological well-being—and sustaining it for the long haul. With a foreword by LeBron. 
    “Mike Mancias is more than a teacher or trainer, his approach to health and wellness is an approach to life. If you stay ready, you ain’t gotta get ready.” —Usher 
    Mike Mancias has spent two decades developing and refining a winning blueprint for athletic excellence. He’s worked with countless professional athletes, sports franchises, and the US Olympic Program. And his methods have propelled the rise of LeBron James, arguably the best-trained athlete in the world, and the gold standard for elite longevity. In Game Plan, he shares those secrets with the rest of us. 
    Over the course of three parts—the first focused on nutrition (“Eat with performance first and foremost in your mind”), the second on physical training (“We find the best ways to keep the body in constant motion”), and the third on recovery (“Recovery doesn’t start after performance but during performance”)—Mancias guides readers on their own journey to tiptop performance. 
    Revelations include the precise time to eat before an athletic pursuit, the hidden pitfalls of stretching, the right temperature for sleeping, therapeutic breathing techniques to turn off stress, and why naps are not just for babies. Throughout, Mancias makes the case that excellence must begin with the mind before it can manifest in the body—and shows you how to cultivate it. 
    Game Plan offers an actionable, holistic, and comprehensive roadmap to peak performance. 
    Supplemental enhancement PDF accompanies the audiobook.
