This book, by Steve Wilstein, was one of the chosen books for our class. I really liked the simple language that Wilstein used in this book, so I decided to use it to write my book report on. Wilstein broke his book up into chapters based on the different areas of sports reporting. He painted a basic picture of life as a sports writer.
At times, Wilstein made the occupation of sports journalism appealing to me and made me want to be on the sidelines watching the sport. Other times, he got into the other aspects of sports journalism, the traveling and long hours away from family. Being as maternal as I am, I plan to start a family soon and I could not leave my family for any length of time.
Wilstein also includes many pictures and quotes in his book so that his readers can rely on visuals as well as his words. The tips and truths about sports journalism make this book a must read for anyone who is interested in being a sports writer.
