Ian Schuback OAM (or Shoey, as he is affectionately known) would be the person best credentialed to "tell it how it is". There has been no other Australian player in history to match his international record of four world titles. After escalating into representative status within two years of starting bowls at the age of 30, Shoey spent 15 years at the top of the sport. Retiring at the pinnacle, he took his knowledge to the greens, and as a coach alongside Cameron Curtis led Australia to its best international bowls performance in history. As well, he spent 16 years as an expert television commentator, and was recognized with an OAM in 2010 for his services to the sport as a player, coach and commentator. Shoey's narrative is as he is on the green: an outspoken, sometimes flamboyant larrikin, more than once controversial but always passionate and committed to his mission. The insider knowledge that he brings to all levels of bowlers is unparalleled, and his legacy to the sport continues through this book, as does his ongoing commitment to helping others "be the best they can be".
