“Exploding Sports Myths”... Exposes the nonsense in some of our fondest notions about sport George Shirling Sport psychologist George Shirling's sympathetic but no-nonsense perspective exposes the absurdity of the many myths that are clamped with the tenacity of barnacles to modern sport. The author scrutinizes the vulnerability of the innate adventurous spirit that drives sports' participants. He examines the damaging approach of unimaginative coaching, the barrage of ‘experts', stubborn governance, the growing confusion about drugs in sport, the commercial realities and limitations of professional sport, and much, much more. For thirty years George has observed and listened to scores of players, athletes and coaches up to international level, including the Australian Winter Olympic Team, the NSW 'Waratahs', ACT 'Brumbies', and the 'Wallabies' rugby union teams. His experience is long, his perspective unique. Some may not like what he has to say, but few who are genuinely engaged in sport can afford to ignore him. Hard cover with dust jacket……256 pages RRP $35.00
