A 30-year insider account of how international sport actually runs
Robert Maes spent three decades at the top of international sport — managing campaigns for ~150 Olympic and world champions, running IMG's Japan office, and quietly steering federation politics on three continents. His first book distills that perspective: how money actually flows in pro sport, why most rights deals are broken before they're signed, and the management mistakes that bankrupt teams before the standings ever notice. Forthcoming.
