description: Is Muhammad Ali as intelligent as Einstein, or Bobby Orr as bright as Beethoven? That comparison is not entirely far-fetched when you consider different kinds of intelligence. This book examines the bodily kinesthetic intelligence of those creative athletes who transformed their sports. It does not deal with those who could jump higher or run faster or throw a ball harder or score more goals just because they were better athletes. The creative athletes, like Michael Jordan, Roger Bannister. Willie Pepp, Dick Fosbury and Toller Cranston infused their sports with a new language, new concepts, new moves or new approaches. Who were the bright stars who revolutionized boxing, baseball, high jumping, football, the mile footrace, basketball, figure skating, soccer, swimming, hockey, Olympic wrestling, golf and tennis? You'll recognize some of the names, but may be surprised by the others.
