Have you ever pondered why Canadian athletes so often fail to perform at a high level on the world stage? Or why university sport in Canada has long been an afterthought in the national consciousness, resulting in a steady exodus of our most complete and competent student-athletes south of the border? Lured as they are by the most realistic opportunity for fulfilling both their athletic and academic potential, they depart by the thousands each fall, leaving a gigantic hole in the Canadian sports system. Nowhere in the Constitution or in any book of real law, this freak of Canadian nature that has restricted the granting of significant financial aid to our student-athletes keeps the country behind the international starting line. Worse yet, it's still going on, full force. Canadian ISBN: 970-0-9784876-0-7
Autorenporträt
Alan Watson is a serial expatriate, having lived all over the Mid-East and in many European countries for the past 40 years. For the last 30 years, he has worked as an International Financial Advisor, serving clients ranging from senior oil industry executives to entrepreneurs and wealthy expatriates who wanted to change countries and 'live the dream'. Now based in France, close to the Alps for the last 20 years, his broad knowledge of the money business, and the bizarre situations that people fall into, does create some spectacular thriller plots.
