Can dedication, hard work, concentration and extreme stubbornness replace natural talent?
Isn’t giving in to the idea of ​​not having “enough talent” just an excuse for those who don’t have the will to apply themselves assiduously and chase their dreams at all costs?

With the collaboration of 12 champions (Michele Boscacci, Marco De Gasperi, Eleonora Delnevo, Stefano Ghisolfi, Kilian Jornet Burgada, Tamara Lunger, Gesar Simon Messner, Simone Moro, Mario Poletti, Silvia Rampazzo, Jim Reynolds, Maurizio “Manolo” Zanolla) of the outdoor world, we take the reader to discover how much predisposition and dedication count in building success. Whether there was talent or not, all the champions involved won. If these people, after a lot of work, have managed to realize their dreams, is there then a format, a scheme, a protocol to follow, and by tracing their choices, their times and their ideas, can we also bring “normal” people to the highest achievement? “If it happened, but you don’t know how it happened... nothing happened!” repeated Gianluca Spadoni, one of the most successful trainers in Italy. From the interview with the champions we will try to understand what happened in their lives, to find a common denominator for their successes in the mountains.

"It’s about understanding something about ourselves. After all, like most athletes who will read this book, I don’t train to win, but to improve. I’m just looking for a better version of myself, progressing is what makes me feel alive. Improving is everything. This book has exactly this purpose: to make us people who put themselves on the line and who rejoice in their goals achieved, big or small, when it happens that we reach one."
