‘To educate means...to lead out, not to drive in. The first problem for a teacher is...to awake interest in those he is teaching and to make them keen to find out and understand for themselves, rather than rely on textbooks... The ability to do this, indeed, is the test of a really educated man, especially in [India], where objectivity is little valued, and a large assemblage of facts is much admired.’ Widely acknowledged as the pioneer of the public school system in India, Jack Gibson’s name is synonymous with opening the doors of ‘privileged education’ for one and all. As headmaster of Mayo College, Ajmer, he singlehandedly transformed the school into the ‘Eton of India’, lay...

Supercoach

Like most of the bouncers in town, Bobby Lee was an ageing boxer, but was as tough as they come. He was the muscle on the door at Thommo's, the illegal two-up game held in secrecy in Surry Hills in Sydney's inner city. It was owned by Joe Taylor - 'The Boss', as everyone called him. In May 1951, Bobby Lee was shot five times. He didn't survive. Jack Gibson got his job. 'Big Jack' was the original supercoach, but before that he was one of the toughest men in Sydney. It was there for all to see as a brutal front-row forward for Easts, Newtown and Wests during the 1950s and 1960s. As a coach, he was a revolutionary, adopting methods from American football and innovating heavily in his own right...

There is little doubt that most average golfers have too many "swing thoughts" swirling around in their heads when preparing to hit a golf ball. Our natural desire to analyze, dissect and try to improve on everything we do and often overthink something which should be natural has resulted in much golf instruction being just too complicated. Having a mental picture of a good golf swing as a "swinging motion" from start to finish is a positive thought but trying to break that movement down into dozens of parts just doesn't work. In this book I have tried to limit conscious thoughts as much as possible by focusing on the three necessary basics of GRIP, ALIGNMENT and POSTURE at address and the t...

Burn, Do Not Read

BURN, DO NOT READ Jack Gibson was never the same since the tragedy. He moved across the country, living alone in a little house in the middle of the woods. He didn't want any visitors. And his phone conversations with family members became progressively shorter over time...and stranger. Now Jack is dead, but his friends say something was very wrong in the weeks leading up to his death. He refused to leave the house and claimed he wasn't feeling well, though it seems an illness was the least of his problems. Following the funeral, his children and grandchildren experience for the first time his remote house in the woods. What they encounter there is unimaginable, even for a family prepared for the worst. All of the windows are covered by newspapers, the doors sealed by duct tape - but why? Reluctantly, apprehensively, the investigation must begin. Will the family's discoveries shine a light on what was ailing Jack? Or is the house simply too dark with clutter and confusion for the truth to be illuminated?

Jack Gibson tells us about his experiences over forty years as a player, coach and mentor. This book features material from his diaries and scrapbooks (which include quotes and opinions from some of sport's greatest thinkers) and a collection of yarns, many of them outrageously funny, about football and footballers such as Artie Beetson, Peter Sterling and Mick Cronin - some of the biggest names from the recent 'golden days' of rugby league.From leadership to mateship, Gibson reveals how he motivates his players, the value of hard work and the necessity for honesty. He discusses the importance of perfect preparation and self-discipline, and how the values that are essential for a coach can be applied to business and family life as well.
