Books

Cover for The Racket

I know basically nothing about tennis, but this was a great read. Goes into the details of what it takes to succeed at the top level, and how unglamorous it is unless you’re at the very top. You can read a pretty representative excerpt first to decide if it’s your type of thing.

Cover for Moneyball

Didn’t know anything about baseball before reading this, know a tiny bit after.

Walks through the evolution of soccer tactics in Europe from the 1990s to 2020, with a focus on countries that influenced the game the most: The Netherlands, Italy, France, Portugal, Spain, Germany, and England.

Cover for Blind Side

Honestly, don’t remember much about this book but I know it hasn’t aged well.
