So hello and welcome everyone Lucas Rockwood here with the yoga talk show

thanks for tuning in we've got a very interesting show today, a different kind of show.

The theme is The Truth About Genetics and Athletic Performance and this is something that I've

been interested in for a very long time and I think a lot of people have questions and

curiosities and unanswered questions in and around athletic performance, what is nature,

what is nurture, and I guess today is David Epstein and he's an investigative

reporter. He's won a whole bunch of awards including The Society of Professional

Journalists 2010 Deadline Club Award, Time Inks Henry Loose Award for Public Service,

and the Hypertraffic Cardiomyopathy Association's Big Hearted Journalism Award among others.

That was a really big word for me.

Epstein is currently best known for his New York Times best-selling book,

which is called The Sports Gene, Inside the Science of Extraordinary Athletic Performance. I just got this book. I'm

really excited about it. And we're going to be talking about human performance and

discussing this topic, this nature versus nurture, this thing that anyone who's ever tried to do anything physical

well has wondered about.

Was I born with these skills or these handicaps or is everything learnable so David thanks so much for joining us.
