How We Can Save Sports: A Game Plan

Many sports fans care deeply about the games, the athletes and the towns around them, yet they are alarmed by academic corruption, athlete health and an emphasis on winning and profit at any cost. Reed argues that much of today's sports culture is broken, and that ego and greed are driving it.

The book sets out ten pressing problems and traces many of them to the mentality of profit at all costs and winning at all costs. Chapters cover concussions, overzealous adults in youth sports, the loss of physical education from many school timetables, the financial focus of college sports, and discrimination.

Each chapter sets out the key challenges, along with practical moves readers can make in favour of change. The book also lists resources for change at youth, high school, AAU, college and professional levels. Published by Rowman & Littlefield Pub Inc in 2015, with 204 pages and ISBN-13 9781442242647.
