Best of 2017 in YA Sports Nonfiction

12/21/2017

9 Comments

 
        Well, calls for Jockbrarian's long awaited Best Nonfiction Sports Books for Young Adults of 2017 are hitting fever pitch. Parents are refusing to leave Barnes and Noble until I give them some hot leads for book ideas for their teen sports lovers, and librarians are wondering what impactful 2017 sports titles they need to have on their wish lists. After careful studying, informal polling, and monitoring facial reactions, I have come up with a list of some 2017 (or late December 2016) books that I think are brilliant for any teenage sports fan.  If your child enjoys sports and doesn't necessarily like reading, these books are certified by me, Jockbrarian, which should be good for at least something. 
       The following books I have for you are a mix of every facet of sports and life.  They are more than just stories of athletic achievement, they are stories of survival; they are stories of truly heroic athletes who have succeeded not only on the courts and fields, but in the game of life.  These books should be added in every youth and adult library collection; they should be on the shelves at home.  While they represent only some of the great sports writing that has come out this year, the titles will serve sports fans well and allow them to dig deeper into the lives of some amazing people.   Books in the slideshow are linked to Amazon for you to look at--and they are in no particular order!
Enjoy, and Merry Christmas!! ​

Sports betting can be a great way to enjoy your favorite sports and make money out of it. But if you are new to putting your money on the outcome of a certain sports event, it is important that you learn the rules, the basics as well as the risks that you are going into.

These are the top five best baitcasting reels. These reels come in a lot of different varieties and are used for heavier fish and lures. It is also good to use a baitcast reel for areas of heavy cover such as weeds.

If you want to start betting on sports online, in this article you will find some tips to help get you started and hopefully make you a little money in the process. Before you make any deposits to the online sportsbooks, do a little research, read reviews from other bettors and try to find a good first time deposit bonus. If the sportsbooks are offering free money to bring in new customers, make sure you take advantage of it.

By using lucid dreaming you can fly around on a hoverboard, just like Marty in "Back to the Future." It's what you've been waiting for since childhood and it's finally here.

It is the safest and best hoverboard for sale today due to its advanced features. With Bluetooth, a smartphone app, a free carry bag, and certified safe batteries, the Halo Rover X carries the crown as the Top Hoverboard to buy in 2019.
