    A showcase of Britain's most architecturally significant sports and leisure buildings from the twentieth century and beyond.
100 20th Century Sports and Leisure Buildings gives a fascinating insight into the spaces where we play: from swimming pools and skate parks to ice rinks and cricket pavilions. These structures are not only an intensely evocative part of our shared social heritage but some of the most architecturally innovative constructions of the past century – as seen here in buildings by architects including Edwin Lutyens, Walter Tapper, John Burnet and Zaha Hadid.
The twentieth century saw a rapid expansion in the public provision for sports and leisure as workers won the right to paid holiday, prompting a boom in the construction of municipal lidos, pools and sports grounds. Later in the century leisure centres brought together facilities for a whole range of sports with an emphasis on family fun, combining environmentally controlled environments with soaring engineering and playful pop imagery. Space-age geodesic domes, diamond-glazed pyramids, castellated forts, brutalist elephants and Moorish postmodern palaces are just a few of the highlights of this idiosyncratic genre showcased here.
Expert essays on particular building types, including Alan Powers on lidos and Simon Inglis on sports stadiums, give further context to these spaces. Also included is an introduction with a strong campaigning element – with the decimation of local authority budgets forcing the closure of many centres and pools, this is a timely exploration that provides a crucial record of this key part of our cultural heritage.

    Do you play confidently and balls out in meaningless pickup games but then play like a bum in the real games and tryouts?  
You’ve been working on your game. You know what you’re capable of; you’ve done it over and over again in practice, scrimmages, and games against your friends. Then game time comes, and...nothing.  
Your performance does not reflect the same person who put in all that time. You’re not doing any of your moves. You don’t assert yourself. You're invisible on the court. Knowing the skills you have, this is really frustrating.  
Is it mental? Is it physical? Is it something else?  
It’s a little bit of all those and more. This workbook, Playing as Well as You Practice, will move you past it.  
Upon completion of this workbook, you will: Play with full confidence in the biggest moments Never have another deer-in-the-headlights moment on the basketball court Erase all performance-anxiety problems and conquer the cues that cause it Step on the court with an aggressive mindset that keeps you on the offensive, never nervous or hesitant Know the exact mental cues you’ll use to lock yourself into a mindset that’s congruent with your highest level of performance
