John Dutch

Anderson Woodbury is a recent recipient of a scholarship to Maine’s Harley University where he intends to achieve his life-long dream of becoming a Sports Psychologist. Almost on arrival he is faced with a desperate dilemma: should he stand by and allow women rugby players to put their lives at risk through unsafe practices or should he jeopardize his career before it has started by challenging the establishment? Passions run hot as players, parents, professors and friends take sides: even the experience and cool head of professional tennis player April Brooker, Anderson’s closest confidante, may not be enough to stop him from being sent down in disgrace.

After four years study, Anderson Woodbury is required to conduct and submit a dissertation. He has a topic: the analysis and control of psychological tension; but still needs to persuade a faculty member to be his PhD advisor. His ongoing involvement in university politics, and refusal to compromise his beliefs, test the goodwill of even his closest friends and supporters, including his life-long friend and confidante, April Brooker. Just one year out from completing his studies, he may have to throw it all away, unless a means can be found to align conflicting interests and thwart those who seek to destroy him.
