He makes the case for acknowledging failure and confronting our mistakes, a notion he refers to as “Black Box Thinking”.

A columnist for The Times, he has also gone on to publish numerous bestselling books; Bounce, published in April 2010, has been described as “one of the most intelligent and thought-provoking books about sport ever written”, and Black Box Thinking, published in 2015, which has been globally acknowledged and translated into multiple languages.
