ABSTRACT
The afterword to a book presents an opportunity to reflect, to look back on what has been achieved and, perhaps, what else could have been written. Normally this reflection is restricted to the contents of the book itself. However, on this occasion I thought it may be interesting to initially widen the scope of the endeavour and use this opportunity to consider where this book currently stands in relation to the broad expanse of work described under the label of high performance sport.
