There is a looming existential crisis for competitive sport. We are
witnessing a waning trust in the integrity of sport at all levels
that stems from the win-at-all-costs culture that has become so
pervasive, worldwide. Doping, fraud, corruption and inhumane
high-performance systems as well as worrying levels of dropout,
burnout and mental health problems among athletes, all points to
the fact that sport has lost track of its true meaning and is
increasingly out of touch with its core values. What is needed is a
powerful counterpoint to this results-focussed culture, one which
goes far deeper than the superficial realm of wins, losses, medals
and fame, and that provides a roadmap for athletes to discover
deeper meaning and achieve more in their sporting lives. The True
Athlete Philosophy is that counterpoint. This is an approach that
harnesses the best of sport - the persistent drive for excellence,
constant innovation, unmatched opportunities for personal
development - and puts it firmly in service of the participants and
society as a whole. Sport can be a tremendous tool for unlocking
potential and thriving in life, but currently it is not coming
close to delivering on that promise. Drawing on a combination of
ancient wisdom and modern psychology, The True Athlete Philosophy
explores how athletes can harness their lived experience of sport
to contribute to a healthy, meaningful and fulfilled life and be of
greater benefit to their community.
