…describing the book that prompted jill to reach out to david epstein
“I wrote a book called The Sports Gene. It's partly about how some super athletes are genetically different from the rest of us. They have super genes. They're physiological freaks. I was deluged with emails from parents wanting to know how they could find out if their child had Michael Jordan genes.”
