Is there anything on this earth that provides more highs and lows than that of sport. Over the past thirty years as competitor, coach and spectator it has made me laugh, made me cry; given me hope, taken me to the depths of despair. I was fortunate enough to play sport at a good level and then to coach at international level. In 2004 I achieved a Master of Science degree in Sports Coaching and lectured on the subject at both undergraduate and postgraduate levels. I have since worked with numerous professional organisations advising in areas of sports coaching. Now I am entering the final chapter and living the dream by writing about sport. So please accompany me on this journey; advice and guidance being greatly appreciated. But more importantly experience the positive vibe that sport brings, and enjoy.
