Less than One Percent is a captivating exploration of overlooked potential in sports and business, challenging conventional notions of success.

Through these compelling narratives, Less than One Percent delves into society's fixation with measures and predictions, revealing how these assessments often fail to capture true potential. It uncovers the untapped greatness within each of us, challenging the conventional wisdom that dictates who will succeed and who won't.

Less than One Percent is a call to recognize and nurture the hidden potential within us all, urging a reevaluation of how we assess and support talent in every arena of life. It challenges readers to abandon the safety of the known and venture into the untested, where true genius often thrives.
An essential read for those ready to forge a future where potential is not confined by convention, Less than One Percent offers a pathway to revitalize our understanding of achievement and innovation.
