Dan Roan, Sports Editor, BBC News  'Matt shows with great insight and wisdom how (sport) can form the foundations for future discovery, development and ultimately, happiness.' Ben Ryan, Olympic Gold Medal-Winning Rugby Coach and Author Sevens Heaven, Daily Telegraph Sports Book of the  Year 2019   Sport can save us.  After a fractious decade following the 2012 Olympics, sport - one of our few remaining collective rituals - is entering its golden age. An increasingly powerful force for good, it is undergoing a dramatic transformation that will positively impact our lives, on and off the pitch.  From the collective shared experience of a nationwide event and the individual benefits gained from lacing up your trainers and getting out there to the political power of a footballer's Twitter account, All to Play For is a roadmap for the way that sports can unite us in the worst of times. Illuminated by interviews with a diverse range of sports insiders, including fitness guru Joe Wicks, gold medalist Greg Searle, the mind behind the viral 'This Girl Can' campaign, Tanya Joseph, and running obsessed rockstar Johnny Marr, All to Play For dives into the past, present and future of the industry to show how sport will lead us out of the darkness and guide us in a post-pandemic world.  Covering the rise of the athlete activist, the necessity of grassroots organisations, the secret recipe for making sport an effective tool for change and ten bold predictions on how it will guide us in the future, this is an examined look at why sport has the power to heal a divided world.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49539780739345,"sku":"GOR011592305","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ GARDNERS","offer_id":49738697408785,"sku":"NGR9781529148138","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":49800665465105,"sku":"CIN1529148138G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ VERY_GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50338792309009,"sku":"CIN1529148138VG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ WELL_READ \/ SBYB","offer_id":50379518804241,"sku":"CIN1529148138A","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ LIKE_NEW \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":51764911112465,"sku":"GOR011645820","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ WELL_READ \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":52847876997393,"sku":"GOR012413154","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":53366069362961,"sku":"GOR011838245","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1529148138.jpg?v=1750991152"},{"product_id":"britain-and-the-olympic-games-book-matt-rogan-9781848765757","title":"Britain and the Olympic Games","description":"London 1948 created the economic model for the Olympic movement for the twentieth century. More importantly, it taught us that sport matters to society. As the Olympic Games returns to Britain in 2012, the parallels in context with 1948 are stark. For the Berlin airlift, read Afghanistan and Iraq. For political manipulation in Berlin 1936, read Beijing. Domestically, financial recession, public debt and questions of infrastructure legacy challenge the 2012 Organising Committee in the same way they were challenged in 1948.  Britain needs a boost. Father and son team, Matt Rogan and Martin Rogan closely examine the key themes connected to the Games - from winning the Olympic Games for London to the practical realities of delivering gold medal performance, coaching and funding athletes to the business model of the Games. They interview a breadth of people - from 2012 hopefuls to Olympic Gold Medallists, Sports Coaches to NHS doctors, 1948 veterans and 2012 BBC commentators to stadium constructors, current World Champions and British Olympic Team Managers.  If London 1948 changed the model for the Olympic Games and the social climate in Britain for the remainder of the twentieth century, the same will be true of London 2012 for the twenty-first century.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49587166445841,"sku":"GOR003615196","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ LIKE_NEW \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49597317513489,"sku":"GOR011688979","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":50211913597201,"sku":"GOR004742838","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1848765754.jpg?v=1750963719"},{"product_id":"all-to-play-for-how-sport-can-reboot-our-future-rare-book-matt-rogan-1737535619iev","title":"All to Play For: How Sport can Reboot our Future","description":"\u003cp\u003e2021.
