Often sports guides can seem to exist in a vacuum that doesn't take into account the complexity of the world the potential athlete inhabits. 'Yes of course I want to get better,' they wish to shout at the guide, 'that doesn't mean that I suddenly don't work a full time job or have to cook for my family.'
