Sports Books FAQs

To give yourself the best chance of enjoying a book — from any genre — you want to make sure you choose a subject that excites you. Are you more interested in mainstream sports or books about basketball? Or would you be more interested in learning about extreme sports like rugby, motocross, or wilderness survival?

In addition to the standard fare of memoirs and biographies, there are books that cover the sociology of sports and sports psychology.

Next, use the reviews and jacket summary to make sure the book's difficulty level matches your interest level and existing knowledge base. If you're a beginner in the sport or just have a casual interest, opt for entry-level or best-selling sports books. If you're already an avid fan, you may want to look for one that delves deeper into the history, gameplay, or even sports theory.

There are so many sports books published every year, but we suggest keeping an eye out for these highly anticipated, fresh-off-the-press new sports books:

If these aren't aligned with your interests, do a bit of research on your preferred sports niche.

Try out the sports genre with something that you're almost sure to love. These are some popular sports books that are easy to get into:

  • Moneyball: The Art of Winning an Unfair Game
    One of the most popular baseball books of the past 20 years. This entertaining read later adapted into a popular film, dives into the world of baseball statistics and data analytics and how their mastery changed team selection and management forever.
  • The Boys of Summer
    In Roger Kahn's memoir, he delves into the Brooklyn Dodgers' 1952 season and World Series, which paints intimate portraits of baseball's golden-age players and the sport's impact on America.
  • The Game
    Widely considered one of the best sports books of all time, this memoir of former hockey player & team president Ken Dryden vividly captures the essence of the sport and provides an intimate look at its players.
