Fast Tracks

Many people may treat "Fast Tracks" as a mere glimpse into the world of the up and coming athlete. But there is much more. So much more.

In truth, the sporting tribulations of the protagonists are a mere metaphor for the greater drama of the human comedy - life.

Indeed, just as Samantha falls while she learns to throw discuss, so too do great writers fall when they write, lovers when they love, leaders when they lead.

Tragedy is by no means restricted to a sporting primary school in suburban Western Australia.
