Competitive Fire by Michael Clarkson
In preparation for this text, Michael Clarkson interviewed many top athletes such as Michael Jordan, Bob Beamon, and Roger Bannister. He concludes that the root of greatness is the reaction of athletes to "fight or flight" situations in competition.
Michael Clarkson is the author of five previous books, all on psychology. He had a distinguished career as a newspaper reporter, and was nominated for a Pulitzer Prize in the U.S. for his story on a rendezvous with reclusive author J.D. Salinger. Clarkson is considered an authority on fear and stress and this is one of the reasons he wrote this book on the phobic Glenn Gould. He is accomplished as a professional speaker and he has appeared on a wide variety of radio and television programs. Clarkson took three years to research this book and he is now completing a screenplay on Gould. He lives in Toronto.
