This isn't A Textbook

This book takes a personal look at aspects of sport and life from the perspective of Kelvin Giles a teacher coach and parent. Kelvins working life has seen him work with Olympic athletes over 6 Olympic cycles; championship winning Rugby League teams and as a manager in elite High Performance Institutes. The anecdotes and commentary from the 40+ year adventure he has undertaken is presented here in a series of quick-fi re statements and observations. Some text is taken directly from communications with organisations colleagues athletes and friends. Other comments are from people admired and followed by the author and presented as their quotes. There are educational passages coupled with more irreverent dialogue centred on some of todays critical questions in our culture.
