This book goes beyond general guidance about sports writing, offering readers practical advice on covering 20 specific sports. From auto racing to wrestling, author Joe Gisondi gives tips on the seemingly straightforward - like where to stand on the sideline and how to identify a key player - along with the more specialized—such as figuring out shot selection in lacrosse and understanding a coxswain’s call for a harder stroke in rowing. It also explores sports reporting across multimedia platforms, developing a foundational understanding for social media, mobile media, visual storytelling, writing for television and radio, and applying sabermetrics.

The primary source documents digitised and collected here tell the story of the frontiers of North America and Australia, allowing scholars to better understand the nature and significance of these regions at various points from the eighteenth century up until the twentieth century. It includes material from the Hudson Bay Archives and the Glenbow Archives. The access is provided through a collaboration between Consortia Canada and Adam Matthew.
