Chelsea Warr (Author)
Chelsea Warr is the Director of Performance at UK Sport. She
pioneered Team GB's talent identification and development
programme, that discovered Olympic champions like Helen Glover, Tom
Daley and Lizzy Yarnold. She joined UK Sport in 2005, before which
she was a physiologist with the Australian Institute of Sport and
then Talent ID manager for British Swimming.
A brilliant book. A must read for anyone involved in any high
performance business. The Talent Lab is a fascinating insight into
the success of Team GB in London 2012 and Rio 2016. Owen Slot gets
to go behind the scenes to show emphatically “what, why and how”
this was achieved. There is no doubt this will be a bestseller in
the UK but also worldwide as the rest try to find the secret to
Team GB’s amazing turnaround.
