Welcome to Books About Sports

A lot of book review sites provide exhaustive lists of best-sellers and only cater to large publishing houses. My goal at Books About Sports is to provide real, unbiased reviews and recommendations so you're not wasting your time and money on bad books. We simply don't have time for that.
​
​My team of contributors reads hundreds of books a year with the goal of identifying stories that inspire and motivate us to be better athletes and people. We provide our favorite books by sport, as well as articles identifying age-appropriate recommendations. Put simply, you'll find the best sports books here.  Whether you're a young adult looking to play college sports, a parent looking for a gift, or a die-hard fan looking for your next read, we've got you covered.

Who We Are

As a former Division 1 basketball player and author of two best-selling basketball books, my goal is to introduce you to new sports books, help you find that perfect gift, and enjoy some healthy debate about all things sports. ​
