Great synopsis of sport positions and game play.

[Amir Yeager]

The Sports Book is a group of sports played throughout the world that is gathered in this book to teach the reader all about each of the sports. There are familiar sports as well as not so well known sports. I did not have time to read the entire book because of its length so I read about the sports I am most interested in.

I picked the book cause I love sports and I wanted to see if there were any tactics or techniques that I coiuld learn from it. I really love the sport of soccer. This sport was covered a lot in this book. I learned every position and why the positions existed and the purpose of each position. I learned what the skills that a prson needs to play each position.

I highly recommend this book to all people who are interested in sports because they can learn their favorite sport and get better at it.
