Flying Wing
Rory Underwood, David Hands
No-one has played more games or scored more tries for England's Rugby Union Team than Rory Underwood. He stands third in the list of the world's all-time try-scorers and averaged a try a game between 1990 and 1993. His story chronicles the dramatic change in the play and preparation of English teams and the sacrifices players have had to make to reach the same competitive level as New Zealand and Australia. Underwood's story is not, however, just the story of a sportsman - it also looks at his career and family life as well as his opinion of the commercial aspects of the game.

GSandy Stewart Christian, na Tubesing, Nancy Loving Tubesing
This book covers an extremely wide range of icebreakers ranging from introductions in a group to group building, change agents and self awareness. I found all the excercises very clear to follow as the authors usefully recommend the goals, group size, time and variations of each icebreaker. These aspects were a real time saver when flicking through the book and preparing for a group exercise.
