Synopsis

"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.

    "Life is Fighting is a must-read for any fan of the wrestling business." — Kofi Kingston, WWE Grand Slam Champion, 16-time Tag Team Champion
    		 
    His physique and unbridled intensity are enough to inspire fear. Factor in a unique combination of precision and abject ruthlessness, and it becomes clear that anyone stepping into the ring with him is in immediate danger. A master of catch wrestling and jiu jitsu, Kross has done battle around the world. He boasts an array of devastating suplexes. And if that's not enough, he's more than happy to put opponents to sleep . . . But despite his menacing exterior, the human being behind the character—Kevin Kesar—is soft-spoken and highly thoughtful. Recognized by his peers for his exceptional love for his profession, Kesar endured numerous setbacks on the way to achieving his dream. Along with his wife, Elizabeth—known in WWE as Scarlett—he has repeatedly found the fortitude to bounce back stronger. In Life is Fighting he shares the real story.
