Inside Sport - Is Professionalism Killing Sport?

Has the fun gone out of sport, and do the top sports stars actually enjoy what they do? Would their performance improve considerably if they simply relaxed and put the enjoyment back into game? Is professionalism actually making our sportsmen worse at their sport? Had Fabio Capello followed this theory, might England have won the World Cup? Sport at the highest level is a huge business, making millionaires out of so many - but does competing at the highest level squeeze the joy out of sport for those at the very top? In this fascinating documentary, former England cricketer and author Ed Smith speaks to some of the biggest names about how they approach their professions, and how a sprinkling of amateurism can actually make them better at what they do. On the eve of the Ryder Cup, the pinnacle of the amateur ideal, we speak to captain Colin Montgomerie about the passion, enjoyment and uniqueness of competing on the world stage for no money. Other stars include Olympic sprint king Usain Bolt, who is famous for his laidback demeanour on the track, plus tennis ace Roger Federer, footballer Ryan Giggs, jockey Tony McCoy and cricketer Mark Ramprakash. We also speak to England World Cup winning coach Sir Clive Woodward, a man whose professional approach to preparation has got him to the very top.
