YA
Game Plan series.
These overviews of international soccer and NASCAR racing discuss winning strategies and highlight the roles played by various team members (including soccer coaches and NASCAR pit crew workers). Anecdotes about specific participants and their careers provide additional insight, and the inclusion of many women soccer players is particularly welcome. The photos are sometimes grainy. Bib., glos., ind.

Game Plan series.
These two randomly organized vignettes highlight different aspects of the games, discussing field positions, game strategies, history, and information about and advice from star players, though readers not already conversant with the sports will be at a disadvantage. The color and black-and-white photos accompanying the texts will draw fans in. Bib., glos., ind.

Game Plan series.
These books introduce such topics as game strategies, free agents, coaching styles, managing money, and off-season camps for professional players. The behind-the-scenes perspective and action photographs may interest many fans, but the organization of information isn't as clear as it could be. Bib., glos., ind.
