The Anatomy of Competition in Sports by Christopher B. Doob, Hardcover | Indigo Chapters

This book examines different professional sports leagues in the United States and the role of competition within that league-in the history of the league, for children learning and competing in the sport, for individuals competing to join a pro league, and the pros themselves meeting the various challenges of their career. Christopher B. Doob addresses such issues as youth sports and the doleful fact that one chance in a thousand exists that a high school senior will play pro, the relatively short careers of professional athletes, and what happens to many professional athletes once their careers are over. Each chapter focuses on a single sport, highlighting the differences between competition in each league, from MLB to MLS. | The Anatomy of Competition in Sports by Christopher B.
