Since 1991 Gerard Hartmann has worked as a physical therapist with many of the world's greatest athletes, including Sonia O'Sullivan, Kelly Holmes and Paula Radcliffe, as well as with a number of Irish rugby, athletic and GAA stars. Before a serious injury halted his career as an athlete, Hartmann was among Ireland's first triathlon champions, winning seven national championships from 1984 to 1991.
a fascinating read and different from any other sports book I have read -- Weeshie Fogarty Terrace Talk Triathlon history and elite athlete anecdotes aside, the biggest feature of Born to Perform is the advice that anyone can rise from adversity and succeed if they find something they are truly passionate about. Hartmann's book also contains valuable and well-written lessons about the beauty and benefits of sport and also about why keeping a balance in your life is so important. -- Jason Henderson Athletics Weekly A remarkable man, the book occasionally reads like a US self-help book full of zesty life observations and quotes from Rudyard Kipling's poem If. Hartmann seems to have found a secret of sorts. He appears to have found the key to unlock not just the bodies of top athletes but their minds too -- Johnny Watterson The Irish Times
