Good Sport #7

Good Sport #7

The Aussie-born ‘magazine out of left field’ seeks to present the positive side of sport, looking and listening deeper to present a more nuanced narrative. Good Sport returns to our shelves after a few years, though now smaller in size and with a relatively pared-back design. 

This seventh issue is themed ‘The Future of Sport’, exploring emerging developments across the industry, as well as the theories that underpin them. According to the editors, whilst it has become apparent that sport today revolves around money, data, and score-tracking, it is also ‘the steady work of small pockets of people whose practice insists, daily, on care.’

Inside, Pilot editor-in-chief Dagny Tepper unpacks her skepticism of biohacking, exploring how the use of purported self-optimising technology relies on the paradoxical interplay of self-regulation and relinquished bodily autonomy; designer and creative director Gabriel Fontana breaks down the thought process behind his inclusive physical education program Multiform, examining representation in the field; and Kim Boram, artistic director of Ambiguous Dance Company, shares her thoughts on the instinctual nature of dance.

Since inception in 2014, we have redefined what a sports magazine is. By looking and listening deeper, Good Sport presents a more nuanced narrative. Leaving the score card behind and connecting with the interplay of people, community and culture; ideas emerge, experimentation comes first and living actively engaged lifestyles become part of the creative process.

Good Sport’s ideas begin with a question, followed by a curious and playful approach, intertwining ideas that unite multiple perspectives. We believe in doing things with a team spirit and an openness to learn and grow. That’s what sport means to us, and we’re interested in the endless ways people from all walks of life manifest this attitude.
