From the acclaimed director who has gone behind the scenes with many of the greatest athletes in the world, a memoirmeetsmanifesto featuring neverbeforeheard stories about Tom Brady, Simone Biles, Kobe Bryant, Serena Williams, and many more.Sports is religion.No, really. From pilgrimages and cathedrals, gods and fallen angels, holy wars and holy ghosts, sports has every aspect of an organized faith. In fact, it might be even better: all it takes to believe is to stand and cheer.Nobody knows this better than the preeminent sports documentarian Gotham Chopra, who just so happens to be the son of worldrenowned spiritualist Deepak Chopra. While his father taught him to find faith through prayer, Gotham felt pulled towards the Boston Garden and Larry Bird instead. Tracing his unique path from being a diehard fan to witnessing miracles alongside the gods of sport, Gotham makes a compelling case for sports as a modernday faith. And like any worthy religious text, he also doles out wisdom, which comes in the form of neverbeforeheard stories about some of the biggest names in sports.Rarely has anyone had such an upclose view of greatness as Chopra, and now, he lets you come with him behind the scenes to learn how legendary quarterback Tom Brady managed the end of his career, gold medal gymnast Simone Biles struggled with the pressure of the Tokyo Olympics, Golden State Warriors sharpshooter Stephen Curry developed the greatest threepoint shot of all time, and much more. Chopra weaves together stories from Kobe Bryant, Alex Morgan, LeBron James, Michael Strahan, Shaun White, and more into modernday parables that unlock secrets of competitionand of life.Passionate and inspiring, the Religion of Sports is not just for diehard sports fans, but for anyone whos ever believed in something greater than themselves.
