Editorial Reviews

From Booklist

Guides to careers in sports are often aimed at athletes, though some do include a whole panorama of job possibilities--everything from sports announcer to stadium architect. Profiles of each career may be included, but they are usually sketchy and generalized. Carter instead concentrates on the business--and a big business it is--of sports, and he offers in-depth examinations of five major categories in the so-called sports industry: college and university athletic departments, representation agencies, franchise management, media positions, and sports management companies. A consultant specializing in sports management, Carter writes with a style that is both direct and personal, and readers interested in these fields will get a sense of being on the "inside." Highly recommended for career and young adult collections. David Rouse
