520 $aOften sports guides can seem to exist in a vacuum that doesn't take into account the complexity of the world the potential athlete inhabits. 'Yes of course I want to get better,' they wish to shout at the guide, 'that doesn't mean that I suddenly don't work a full time job or have to cook for my family.' Unusually, sporting champion Scott Tindley also holds a PhD in cultural studies. This deep knowledge of both sport itself, and of non- athletic culture, make this the perfect guide for those who aren't already athletes.
