Up Your Game! ─ Skills, Tips, and Strategies to Achieve Total Sports Mastery

Equal parts practical handbook and anthropological field guide, Up Your Game is a visual compendium of inside knowledge and sage advice--everything a fan needs to know in order to become proficient in the world of sports. It will cover basic need-to-know skills and practices (from how to throw a spiral or spin a basketball on your finger to how to catch a foul ball or break in a baseball glove) and etiquette (how to join a pickup game or behave at a sporting event). Through easy-to-digest entries, some of which will be crafted from interviews with athletes and industry experts, as well as illustrations, charts, and lists, Up Your Game will delight any fan looking for the next new sports book for their permanent collection.
