John Hope
Excerpt from John Hope: Philanthropist and Reformer IT is now seven years since the Life a/jo/m Hap: issued to the public; and the writer has the pleasure of knowing that the book was generally well received, and that it has been read with much gratification by many who had personal knowledge of Mr. Hope, or who took a deep interest in those causes that were dear to him.

Coaching Cultures
Coaches are amongst the most visible figures in sport today but little is known about the history of their profession.

Early coaches were professionals but from the late nineteenth century an amateur elite governed Brit...
