THE DOTS WILL NOT BE JOINED is both a rich, sentimental memoir and
a racy 'Compendium of Ideas'. It's about sport (mainly football and
cricket) but it carries wise, sometimes cheeky diversions -
snapshots into what makes us and what liberates us. The *stories*
and the challenges range. Rick Walton is a coach and a writer with
a fearless, impossibly positive streak coursing through him. He
recounts scary or electrifying visits to football and those
wonderfully daft adventures so many of us have had in village
teams. Combs forgotten in boots; lacerating North Sea gales; chunks
of orange and blissfully sweet tea; 'team talks'. But we also have
Proper Coaching - notions around how to approach and nourish and
support players. There is the contention, too, that sport really
can be 'good'; that how we play can matter. All this in a matrix of
arty or philosophical hunches which unashamedly (but also humbly)
celebrate the raw, The Human, the ridiculous, the unknowable, the
'unweighted'. Walton's book is a one-off, daring to chase a zillion
narratives so as to capture something actually rather profound
about how activity works, in a world where the 'Social' and
Corporate kaleidoscopes are blurring, bending and maybe even
crushing our will.
