The final chapter offers an extended, integrated case-study, demonstrating how all the key management techniques are combined within the everyday operation of a successful sport or leisure organization.

“The best book I’ve ever written!” - Paul Emery, Adventurer and First Time Writer "I did adventures here and there but I longed to do something big and scary like Ranulph Fiennes had done when he went to the Poles. This desire sat in me like an unbalanced weight, giving me a sense that I had to always keep moving and if I didn’t something bad would happen, I didn’t know what that bad thing was, maybe it was a fear to be alone with just my thoughts but I was always on the go and a big expedition, like riding a motorcycle unsupported around the world on my own, might quell this urge, and help me find some peace and let me have my own stories to share, rather than basking in the light of others". - excerpt from the book 26,000 Kilometers, 13 Countries, 19 Times Zones in 93 days. After only one night away, Paul felt ready to set out and ride his motorcycle, Tina, around the world.From knife fights in Siberia to jail time in Kazakhstan, Paul quickly learnt the meaning of adventure.After arriving back home in England, Paul recounts his tales of fear, looking for home, and ultimatley facing himself on one of the greatest adventures ever told (probably).
