Marcia Franklin talks with David Epstein, an award-winning sports journalist who wrote a bestselling book called "The Sports Gene." It delves into the often controversial research on what role genetics plays in the development of athletic talent. The book also debunks the so-called "10,000 Hour Rule," which promotes the idea that 10,000 hours of practice can produce mastery in a field, including a particular sport.
