The truth is that professional sport is a breeding ground for
addictive behaviour. Luke Sutton is a business owner and successful
agent to sporting stars such as James Taylor, Nile Wilson and Sam
Quek, but his life didn't always look so positive. Back from the
Edge reveals the huge ups and major downs that a professional
career in sport can bring - and the mental health difficulties that
can plague a sportsperson along the way. Luke knows this more than
most. Brutually but refreshingly honest, this no-frills
autobiography of the former professional cricketer describes in
detail the moment he hit rock bottom, how he got there, his
rollercoaster journey through rehab, and the important lessons he's
learnt since. Throughout the book, Luke remains candid and reveals
how his addictions affected his personal life, from his friends to
family to his children. Back from the Edge is heart-wrenching. It's
also thoroughly genuine, funny and utterly inspirational, and has
allowed the former cricketer to speak about his mental health and
to raise awareness of addiction in sport. Now a sports agent, he is
perfectly placed to spot the warning signs in young stars, and to
support them before they spiral into the same type of experiences
he faced.
