| Summary |
Sport is often perceived as being divided into two separate domains: mass participation and elite. In many countries, policy and funding in these two fields are managed by separate agencies, and investment is often seen as a choice between the two. "Elite sport and sport-for-all" explores the points of connection and sources of tension between elite and mass-participation sport. The book's multi-disciplinary and international line-up of contributors seeks to define, examine and develop solutions to this problematic relationship |
