Sports is a religion, with its pilgrimages, cathedrals, gods, fallen angels, holy wars, and holy ghosts. It requires only standing and cheering to believe, and Gotham Chopra, the son of spiritualist Deepak Chopra, has embraced this belief. He has traced his unique path from being a diehard fan to witnessing miracles alongside the gods of sport. In his memoir-meets-manifesto, he makes a compelling case for sports as a modern-day faith, offering wisdom through never-before-heard stories about some of the biggest names in sports.
Chopra takes readers 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 three-point shot of all time, and more. He weaves together stories from Kobe Bryant, Alex Morgan, LeBron James, Michael Strahan, Shaun White, and more into modern-day parables that unlock secrets of competition and life.
The Religion of Sports is not just for diehard sports fans, but for anyone who has ever been inspired by the power of sport. It is a passionate and inspiring book that will leave readers feeling uplifted and motivated to embrace the beauty and wonder of the world around them.
