Summary

Rasmus Ankersen quit his job, spent the last of his money on plane tickets, and for six intense months travelled the world living and training with the world’s best athletes and their coaches in an attempt to answer the following questions:

  • Why have the world's best middle-distance runners grown up in the same Ethiopian village?
  • Why are 137 of the world's 500 best female golfers from South Korea?
  • How did one athletic club in Kingston, Jamaica, succeed in producing most of the world's best sprinters?
  • What is the secret behind Brazil's mass production of soccer super stars?

The conclusions Ankersen came to will have an enormous impact, not only in the world of sport, but far beyond - in business, education, and parenting. In The Gold Mine Effect, Ankersen presents these conclusions in the eight Gold Mine concepts that will not only show you how to grow talent in yourself, but also how to spot and unlock it in others - whether you are a manager, a coach, a teacher, or a parent.

The narrator ruined it spectacularly!

It's a really good book with some great examples, however, the narrator really ruined it..might as well had Asana or Siri reading it out for you..no emotions what so ever.
