ABSTRACT

This conclusion presents some closing thoughts on the key concepts discussed in the preceding chapters of the book. This book discusses that sport remains one of the few institutions today that seamlessly permeates the ethos of every society. Sport, in its various forms, has a transformative potential, which is manifested in its unrivalled ability to break down long-established barriers, whilst fostering a culture of tolerance, respect, diversity, fairness and a holistic approach to physical and mental health. The book demonstrates that, today, sport in the Caribbean, and, indeed, further afield, plays a slightly different, though no less important role of driving social mobility. It addresses the contentious issue of governance in sport, highlighting, in particular, some of the key challenges and complexities that currently arise in the Caribbean regarding the management and administration of various sporting disciplines.
