The Game Planners: Transforming Canada's Sport System

By Donald Macintosh and David Whitson

Book Overview

The Game Planners studies the policy-making process in six Canadian national sports organizations, each of which deals with a different high-profile Olympic event. The authors argue that the creation of a "high-performance" sport system in Canada is due to pressure from three areas: the Canadian government, the physical education profession, and the sports community.
