Heitzman's 2003 review of sports-related career opportunities is kind of like the rides in the traveling carnivals that come to small towns: it's not a great ride but it's better than nothing. Essentially, this is a resource book that has its list of other resources as its best feature. The writing is straight forward and not particularly engaging but it quickly sets out a good bit of information. It addresses nine areas, including entrepreneurship and a collection chapter of miscellaneous careers. It includes guidelines for preparing for each career type and provides numerous lists such as duties, organizations, etc. The book's primary usefulness is in identifying several potential areas and then furnishing ideas of "what to do next."

For a much more comprehensive treatment, I'd recommend The Comprehensive Guide to Careers in Sports For a more dated but more interesting look at five specific sports careers, try Careers w/o College: Sports (Careers Without College)
