Sportstalent: Discover Your Natural Athletic Talents and Excel in the Sport of Your Choice

Robert Burns Arnot. Penguin Books, $8.95 (1pp) ISBN 978-0-14-007790-2

Sports talent testing consists of analyzing the effects of a certain sport on the mind and body, and deciding whether a person is physically equipped to excel at that sport. Seven specific sports are described here in such terms. PW emphasized that the authors intend ""not to discourage anyone from participating in a particular sport, but to help in selecting a sport at which one is naturally built to do well and which, therefore, will produce more enjoyment and less frustration.''
