Books in Albatross Issues Series series

The excitement displayed during sporting competitions such as the World Cup and the Olympics show that British people take sport very seriously, perhaps young people especially so. Yet only 21% of 5- to 19-year-olds take part in any organised sport outside of the school day. This book looks at young people's engagement with sport and how it can be improved, as well as raising topics of debate including footballers' salaries, whether professional sportspeople are good role models, football violence, equality in sport and the use of performance-enhancing drugs such as steroids.
