The authors challenge simplistic explanations of Indigenous success in Australian football and rugby league, centered on the notion of the ?natural athlete?. The book traces the development of Indigenous sporting expertise as a lifelong process of learning situated in local culture and shaped by the challenges of transitioning into professional sport. Individually, the life stories told by the participants provide fascinating insights into experience, culture and learning. Collectively, they provided deep understanding of the powerful influence that Aboriginal culture exerted on the participants? journeys to the top of their sports while locating individual experience and agency within larger economic, cultural and social considerations. Stories of Indigenous Success in Australian Sport will be of interest to students and scholars across a range of disciplines including Indigenous studies, physical education, education, sport management and sociology. 606 $aSports?Sociological aspects 606 $aCulture 606 $aEducational sociology 606 $aAustralasia 606 $aSociology of Sport and Leisure$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/X22220 606 $aSociology of Culture$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/X22100 606 $aSociology of Education$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/O29000 606 $aAustralasian Culture$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/411150 615 0$aSports?Sociological aspects. 615 0$aCulture. 615 0$aEducational sociology. 615 0$aAustralasia. 615 14$aSociology of Sport and Leisure. 615 24$aSociology of Culture. 615 24$aSociology of Education. 615 24$aAustralasian Culture. 676 $a306.48 700 $aLight$b Richard$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$0849669 702 $aRobert Evans$b John$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910300594803321 996 $aStories of Indigenous Success in Australian Sport$92215590 997 $aUNINA
