Abstract	In summary, sport is a special environment for indigenous Australians. It provides opportunities for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islanders (ATSI) to showcase the athletic talents that they, and indeed many others, believe they possess in abundance (Adair, 2012). However there is the risk that this over-emphasises the physical acumen of Aboriginal Australians and de-emphasises the prospect of skill sets associated with education and training. That danger is being recognised within schools, but less so within sport, where the talents of indigenous athletes are sometimes too keenly sought. In the context of this dialogue, it is not just the nature of 'race' that needs to be questioned, but also the nature of 'sport'. The uncomfortable truth is that education and training are most likely to provide ATSI youth with jobs and, unlike sport, offer hope for long-term employment. (Autor).
