I'm an aspiring sports photographer, and I found this book to be exceptionally useful. The sample images alone are worth the price. Definitely would recommend to beginning/intermediate sports photographers - especially those who are wanting to do team and individual pictures.

If you want to learn how to set up your business as a team sports photographer, this book may be for you, as most of the pages in this book are dedicated how to set up your business as a team photographer.
But if you want to learn how to make actual photos about a sports event, this book is not for you, since only 10 pages are written about it. If you want to learn how to make portraits inside and outside, I would also recommend to choose another book. There are some guidelines, but these guidelines are not detailed and deep at all.

Was sad to see several photos in the book which had poor quality, like the girl's face being out of focus, soccer player's eye blown by flash. I am a beginner photographer, and there were several photos which I would have never published anywhere, especially in a book due to mediocre artistic message and poor faces of the boys and girls.
