We all must stay in the game

Sport is all about keeping score, identifying the winners and losers, and it takes no prisoners.

We all must stay in the game

Well that’s how I’m conditioned to think in the world of high performance sport. The largest ever study of sport and exercise in Ireland was recently published by the Economic and Social Research Institute (ERSI) called ā€œKeeping Them in the Game: Taking Up and Dropping Out of Sport and Exercise in Irelandā€.

It made me step back from high performance and look at sport in a different way. I love high performance sport. I love to compete at the highest level and I love to watch other Irish people take to the world stage in their chosen field but to focus on the few that compete at that level does a disservice to the many who do not.
