Synopsis

A brilliant, funny, inspiring collection of poems about sports and sporting events of every kind from PE lessons to sports day to the final of the men's 100m race. On the school field or in the Olympic Stadium your competitors smile while plotting to beat you, but the real battle is in your head. There are poems about winning, and about taking part; poems about having all the right uniform, but no talent; poems that show that if you are at school, being the best egg and spoon racer really is as important to your mom and dad as being an Olympic athlete; poems about being a team player; and poems about being an individual hero. In fact, this book is packed with sports gems of all kinds.
