From club finances and tournament operations to private lessons, coaching burnout, equipment companies, competitive travel, and the realities of elite performance, this book explores the business side of fencing with honesty, warmth, and experience.
Inside this book, readers will discover:
The blades may be what spectators see, but the real story of fencing is built by the people carrying the sport forward behind the scenes.
