British author, journalist, and former Olympic table tennis player Matthew Syed interviews professional athletes to explore what sports can teach us about life, success, and becoming the best versions of ourselves.

How does playing a sport make you a better person and contribute to your success?

Contrary to popular belief, playing a sport is just as much about psychological strength as it is about physical prowess, and there are several mental lessons we can take away from sports.

In his 2017 book The Greatest: The Quest for Sporting Perfection, author Matthew Syed explains how the mental game of sports can impact our lives and the world for the better.

Syed is a British journalist, author of several books, and former table tennis player for Britain in both the Olympics and Commonwealth Games.
