Gifted Junior

A world junior champion, a multiple national champion, Jamie is the best junior in the country. Everyone says he will be world number one; it was just a matter of time. But after years of everything going exactly to plan and with the goal in sight, things take a different course and no one is more surprised by it than the people closest to Jamie. Gifted Junior looks at the complexities of juniors growing up in a sport and the intricate, dynamic relationships between players, parents and coaches. By taking readers on the bumpy road of developing talent, or what is thought to be talent, Stuart Morgan wants to pass over his experiences, to support coaches and to guide parents of juniors in sport.
