Laurence Halstead really has pulled together a Magna Carta of ‘sport in the right way’ – connecting the original purpose, meaning and ethos of sport and setting it in the current context. What I love about this book is that it gets beyonds highlighting the problems, and articulates tangible, practical solutions – and from someone who has experienced the physical, psychological, sociological conundrums first hand.
It is unique, powerful and truly valuable to anyone who seeks to experience true fulfilment through sport, and also those who seek to enable others to do so – coaches, support staff and athletes alike. Becoming a True Athlete is an outstanding piece of work. Thank you to you and to the True Athlete Project in believing in what is possible.
