Nick Aplin (born 7 March 1952) is a Senior Lecturer at the Physical Education and Sports Science Academic Group (PESS) at the National Institute of Education (NIE). Nick Aplin is the Head of Olympic Studies at the Singapore Olympic Academy, and one of the books on chess he wrote with Tibor Károlyi, ''Endgame Virtuoso Anatoly Karpov'', was ''The Guardian''s Chess Book of the Year in 2007. Nick Aplin was educated at Poole Grammar School in Dorset, England (1963–1970). In 1970 he embarked on a period of Voluntary Service Overseas (VSO) being posted to Papine Secondary School in Kingston Jamaica. Returning to England in 1971 he studied at Loughborough Colleges for his degree in physical education (PE). He graduated in 1976 and secured a teaching position at Marlborough College in Wiltshire. His eight-year stint included three years on an exchange programme in Melbourne, Australia. In 1984 Nick Aplin envisaged a change in career path. Leaving the boarding school environment he decided to study for a master's degree. This plan took him back to Loughborough for a year. One of his tutors, the late Alan Guy, encouraged him to consider employment at the newly established College of Physical Education in Singapore. In late 1985 he became the first full-time expatriate lecturer to be employed on a local contract. Nick Aplin's first book, ''To the Finishing Line'', was published in 2002. It was a set of biographical impressions of the first three Singaporean women Olympians: Tang Pui Wah, Mary Klass and Janet Jesudason. In 2009 he published ''Perspectives on Physical Education and Sports Science in Singapore''. His ''Genius in the Background'', another book on chess he wrote with Tibor Károlyi, was published in 2009. ==Bibliography== * * * * * * * * 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Nick Aplin」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
