Likewise, full-time athletes are considered and the tensions that a pre-occupation with elite achievement generates within the sports is also examined. Includes: * why governments invest heavily in elite sport* the relationship between Government and NGB's* the impact of elite investment on 'sport for all' * the selection of individual sports for priority funding.This detailed text will be of interest to students, researchers and professionals working in sports development and policy. |
