What does it take for a person starting out in their
career to succeed in a highly challenging environment? Apart from the technical
skills, what are the key values, attitudes and behaviours that deliver
outstanding performance in a constantly changing and demanding world?

This book examines these questions within the demanding world of elite sport, a
stage that places arduous pressures not only on the dedicated athletes, but
also on the backstage talent of coaches, scientists and medical support staff.
With case studies and interviews
throughout, this book provides
students with a practical analysis of the personal strengths, determination and
interpersonal skills required to reach the top. The book also contains
practical guidance for students wishing to begin a career in elite sports,
including further reading, websites and contact details of organisations at
this elite level.
