Date:

Presenters:

Dr Keith Lyons, Adjunct Professor of Sport Studies, University of Canberra

Synopsis

International competition in sport is intensifying and improving all the time. Many other nations have now replicated Australian innovations, tapped into Australian expertise and made strategic investments. As a result, these countries have become strong competitors in international sport.  Guided by Immanuel Wallerstein’s world systems theory, his experiences as a rural firefighter, and conversations with high performance coaches, Keith facilitated discussions around theories of how systems operate, and the possible implications in high performance sport.
