A mustread for the cerebral sports fan . . . like Moneyball except nerdier. Much nerdier.Sports IllustratedWhy couldnt Michael Jordan, master athlete that he was, crush a baseball? Why cant modern robotics come close to replicating the dexterity of a fiveyearold? Why do great quarterbacks always seem to know where their receivers are?On a quest to discover what actually drives human movement and its spectacular potential, journalist, sports writer, and fan Zach Schonbrun interviewed experts on motor control around the world. The trail begins with the groundbreaking work of two neuroscientists in Major League Baseball who are upending the traditional ways scouts evaluate the speed with which great players read a pitch. Across all sports, new theories and revolutionary technology are revealing how the brains motor control system works in extraordinarily talented athletes like Stephen Curry, Tom Brady, Serena Williams, and Lionel Messi; as well as musical virtuosos, dancers, rock climbers, racecar drivers, and more.Whether it is timing a 95 mph fastball or reaching for a coffee mug, movement requires a complex suite of computations that many take for granteduntil they read The Performance Cortex. Zach Schonbrun ushers in a new way of thinking about the athletic gifts we marvel over and seek to develop in our own lives. Its not about the milliondollar arm anymore. Its about the milliondollar brain.

This book dives deep into how neuroscience is reshaping our understanding of athletic performance. I’m an amateur athlete, and the insights really helped me rethink my training methods. Highly recommended for coaches and athletes alike!

Not What I Expected
I was really excited to read this book, but it didn't deliver on its promises. Some theories were interesting, but overall, it felt more like a collection of thoughts rather than a cohesive narrative. Disappointed, to be honest.

A Must-Read for Sports Enthusiasts!
As a sports psychologist, The Performance Cortex has been invaluable for my practice. The way it connects neuroscience to athletic performance is enlightening, making it a must-read for anyone involved in sports. Will certainly refer back to it!

Interesting Concepts but Slow Start
The beginning of the book was a bit slow and hard to get into, but once it picked up, it was fascinating! I learned a lot about the brain’s role in sports. Just wish it had grabbed my attention earlier.

Some Good Info, but Lacks Depth
While The Performance Cortex has some solid points about athletic genius and neuroscience, I felt it could've gone deeper into practical applications. Had some nice case studies, though. Worth a read if you're curious!
