Jan Ekstrand – författare

FOTBOLL, VM OCH GLIMTEN I ÖGAT – en läkare berättar bakom kulisserna

I denna bok tar Jan Ekstrand med läsaren bakom kulisserna i fotbollens och elitidrottens värld, med erfarenheter från bland annat VM i USA 1994, där han var läkare för det svenska fotbollslandslaget som tog brons – en bedrift som vid millennieskiftet röstades fram som Sveriges största idrottsmerit någonsin.   Boken är fylld av berättelser, anekdoter och “skrönor” från sportens värld som aldrig tidigare berättats, blandat med öppna reflektioner om personliga svårigheter och livserfarenheter. Genom detta får läsaren en ärlig inblick i att vara framgångsrik inte alltid betyder att vara lycklig – och kanske kan vissa känna igen sig.   Med humor, värme och en unik insyn i elitidrottens vardag bjuder Jan Ekstrand på en fascinerande och underhållande läsupplevelse, både för den idrottsintresserade, läkaren, tränaren, utövaren eller den nyfikne läsaren.
