Sports Strategies- School Library Journal

From mixed martial arts which draw upon traditional disciplines to modern auto racing, strategy is essential to sports. Offering dramatic, action-packed photos, these concise overviews use historic plays and current athletes to demonstrate strategy’s impact. Top-tier players are versatile and multi-talented, such as WNBA forward Breanna Stewart, a master of “positionless” offense and defense. Excerpts from memorable games also demonstrate strategic play. In the 2022 Australian Open, Coco Gauff’s aggressive play, including “attacking the net,” proved pivotal in winning key matches. Soccer Strategies describes how an aggressive strategy called “high press” has helped women’s teams to outscore and overcome opponents. VERDICT Sports fans will relish these well-written books, which should be welcome additions in most libraries.
