Synopsis:

In this first of its kind book, trailblazing coach Manisha Tailor profiles 42 pioneering individuals working in all parts of the game – from male and female players to coaches, referees, board members, administrators, sports scientists and medical staff – and representing different cultures and faiths within the British Asian community. Based on interviews, these powerful stories not only illustrate the challenges faced by these role models, but lessons that they can offer young readers. Young people need to see people like them in order to believe that dreams are possible: the role models in this inspirational book will show South Asian children and teens that their football dreams can come true.

About the Author: Manisha Tailor, MBE, is the Assistant Head of Coaching (U9-U16) QPR Football Club, and the only person of South Asian heritage to be working as a coach in the English professional game. She is the founder of Swaggerlicious, an organisation that uses football and education to engage with Black, Asian, Minority groups and women, works with Show Racism the Red Card delivering anti-racism workshops, and holds an advisory role as vice-chair (coaching) on the British Asians in Sport and Physical Activity board. In 2017 she received an MBE for services to football and diversity in sport.
