As well as providing a theoretical description of these and others behaviours this approach has had practical applications, particularly, in industry.

Olympic Silver medalist, current Uritish Open Champion and member of the Squad Dob Diebelius, 1974 European Bronze medalist and placed second in the SqulId; Eddie Mullen, British Open welterweight Champion and currently lying at second place in the Squad: Constantine Alexander, third in the welterweight category and last of all John lawrenson Assistant to the Olympic Team Manager. In 1972 John won a place in the Squad lying fourth and in the 1973 trials won the star spot. However, he could not quite make the Squad in 1974. With II special recommendation and a plea from the Olympic Team Manager the E.C. allowed him to be involved with the Squud this year in view of his tremendous drive and effect and in pantcular his morale boosting example. In photograph number two, top right hand corner, Dave Starbrook is photographed in his usual familiar position in groundwork during a ne·Wll1.11 training session. Photograph number three shows one of the 'Doc's' experts attending to the knee of Richard Armstrong. Dr. Kingsbury's reputntion in the medical field is so wide that he is able to call on some of the finest specialists in the country and it says something for his charm when such people llltend these weekend training sessions completely voluntarily giving up so much of their valuable time. In photograph number four. centre top right, members of the Squlld lire seen shuttle-running which is part of the outdoor training thllt the Olympic Team Manager Ray Ross has in his programme. In photograph number five, centre bottom left, the 'Doc' is giving II lecture on diet and use of fluids in training and competition. During such a rest break in training, bottles of Dynamo which lire supplied to the Squlld by Beechams Products free, are much in evidence and grelltly appreciated. In photograph number six, centre bottom right, one of the Squad mem bers is having his hand X.Rayed by the use of a SpeCilll portable machine. In photograph number seven, bottom left hand corner, the ))0;0 is reminiscent of the Kodokan when the Japanese Olympic Team is in truin· ing. Top members of the Squad stay out in the middle and at five minute intervals the change is called and olher members of the Squad rush on to the mat to tcst their supremacy. In the photograph at the bouom right hand corner, number eight, we see an example of the complete harmony and co-opcration between IlJA oflicials. Here for example Marie Fourt a National Referee. who at the beginning of the yellf was appointed Womens Senior Scwacl Manager upon " the retirement of Elizabeth Viney, helps out refereeing a mock contest where Brian Jacks can be seen in ne-waza. Marie looked in on this particular training session in order to pick-up any useful tips and so the cCH)peration CLU BS HERE & TH ERE is reciprocal. ]n the centre piece number nine we see the famous 'Doc' in one of his rare light-hearted moments.
