Thanks to A.H.A international and Susie Thomas for hosting 'Culture of British Sport' lecture in Holburn. Although this is one of my favourite lectures of the year, it can also prove the most challenging. Questions from the American Audience where interesting. They included: "what is cricket?" "Why is everyone running in the UK?" What is Polo?" Looked at the role of international rivalry in UK sport. The ambiguity towards competition and the desire to win. Why the NFL was unable to establish itself in Europe. Uk and the Olympics. Looking forward to new series of lectures at the end of the month including "How do you recreate a sporting elite?" Looking forward to Tennis Tigers Tournament at Brighton College this Sunday.
