Product Description
People are not equal. Some are born faster, strong or with steelier nerves. Over 10,500 athletes thrilled the world at the Beijing Games, among them Team Ireland's contenders. 'Ireland's Olympians' takes a close look at the Irish approach, asking what ingredients make world-class athletes, how should they train, eat and develop? Is it nature or nurture that produces champions? What talent-identification programmes are in place? And what is life like for a world-class Irish athlete? 'Ireland's Olympians' accompanies a major RTE TV series, interviewing athletes, coaches, managers and sports scientists. This is a unique insight into sport in Ireland today which smashes many myths.
