BBC sports presenter Mark Chapman is no longer in his physical
prime. There is an argument to suggest he has never been in his
physical prime. Now in his forties, he is facing a world of knee
replacements and ever-expanding waistlines, whilst his children are
thriving. There is huge pride that they are doing so well, mixed
with a fair amount of jealousy that actually they are better at a
wide range of sport than he ever was. He is passionate about sport
and it has played a huge part in his life. His parents encouraged
him from a very early age and he wants to pass the baton on to his
son and daughters. Although there is every chance he might drop it
and have a massive strop instead. He is also very aware of the huge
changes in sport today compared to when he was growing up; and he
is determined that his own attitude to his son and daughters' sport
- be it football, netball, cricket or gymnastics - will be exactly
the same. And he wants to shine a light on grass roots sports - the
incredible and largely unsung contribution that volunteers make in
the sporting commnity, without whom - for example - no professional
footballer would be in the game today. Funny, touching, passionate
about sport and parenthood, Mark Chapman paints sport as a
touchstone for everything important: growing up, becoming a parent,
enjoying family time, getting old, learning how to win (and how to
lose gracefully), the legacy we all hope to leave our children; in
short, life and all that goes into it.
