Super Athlete

Daniel Coyle of the NY Times has written an article exploring the development of the "Super Athlete." Being a tennis coach, his observation of the Spartak Little Group is interesting, but it made me think about how the best in baseball have come to reach their peak. In baseball, professionals seem to emerge from the most varied paths of all professional sports, and they seem the hardest to predict.

Anyway. The article is great and worth the read, even if you have no interest in tennis. For shame. Link.
