This book traces the development of Australian sport from the early 19th century rivalry between white native-born Australians and the new settlers to the early 21st century. The early rivalry enabled qualities such as nationalism, social cohesion and tenacity to develop as distinctive traits of the Australian character. The primary focus of the book is on the modern era and how adroit investment in science, management, coaching and junior sport, as well as in talent identification and development, has produced the outstanding results we see today. The Australian sports system has become a blueprint for success, and is being copied in many countries around the world.
