BUY & Review Wayne's book, The Talent Myth:
Glenn Mills and Wayne Goldsmith discuss Wayne's new book, "The Talent Myth," which challenges the conventional notion of talent in sports. Wayne emphasizes the importance of character, work ethic, and love for the sport over physical prowess. He shares a personal story about a 12-year-old rugby player cut from a team, highlighting the broader issue of how coaches and parents often undervalue non-talented but dedicated athletes. Wayne argues that true talent is often hidden and that coaches should focus on fostering a love for the sport and building resilience in young athletes. The book also includes a framework for making champion choices and handling critical moments.
