RISING ABOVE: HOW 11 ATHLETES OVERCAME CHALLENGES IN THEIR YOUTH TO BECOME STARS

The chapter on Shane Battier discusses how he had no friends growing up and how this affected his mental preparation for basketball. It then analyzes Michael Lewis' "No Stats All Star" piece.

The chapter is a pretty interesting twist on underdogs and ties sociology into the Rockets' use of analytics.
