Underdogs
Malcolm Gladwell wrote a somewhat questionable piece on how underdogs can succeed by looking at a basketball team of 12-year-olds (starting complaint: the zone defense is not a cure-all).

And just as a note, you should be reading Scott's blog no matter where you are in your career. It's great, strategic advice for folks at any stage.
