Joost: The Man in the Mirror by David Gemmell
Arguably the best scrumhalf to have played rugby union, Joost van der Westhuizen has created as much media excitement off the field as he did on it. From his rugby heroics to the controversies surrounding his personal life, Joost has been constantly in the news. The most dev...astating piece of bad press came in the form of a sex video that allegedly features Joost, a blonde woman who is not his wife, and a mysterious white powder…
In this book, Joost talks about his dreams and ambitions as a young boy, tracks his rugby highlights, including his three World Cups, and dissects the methods of the coaches who helped shape his career. He also discusses, in depth, the Kamp Staaldraad scandal, his long and successful career with the Blue Bulls and his job as a sports commentator with SuperSport.
On a more personal level, the book looks at his celebrity marriage to Amor Vittone, his role as father, and his attempts to find meaning in life after rugby.
Finally, Joost puts to rest the rumours that have swirled around him. For the first time, the Man in the Mirror tells the truth, and nothing but the truth. It will blow your socks off.
David Gemmell is a freelance writer who has written for, among others, the Star, Business Day, the Financial Mail and Anytime magazine. He currently has a column in The Weekender featuring interviews with sportspeople.
