This book examines the lives, decisions and challenges faced by
transnational sport migrants - those professionals working in the
sports industry who cross borders as part of their professional lives.
Despite a great deal of romance surrounding international celebrity
athletes, the vast majority of transnational sport migrants - players,
journalists, coaches, administrators and medical personnel - toil far
away from the limelight. Thomas F. Carter traces their lives, routes
and experiences, documenting their travels and travails.
He argues that far from the ease of mobility that celebrity sports
stars enjoy, the vast majority of transnational sports migrants make
huge sacrifices and labour under political restrictions, often
enforced by sport's governing bodies.
