Story
In Wildlife Wars, Terry Grosz serves up fascinating stories - alternately hair-raising, hilarious, and heart-wrenching - from his 30-year struggle to protect wildlife in America. A natural storyteller, Grosz writes about the remarkable characters he met - on both sides of the law - as he matched wits with elk poachers, salmon snaggers, commercial-market duck hunters, and a host of other law-breakers. Best of all, though, these stories are so remarkably entertaining you won't want to put them down.

On the playing field, natural talent isn’t enough—there’s a mental component that determines whether athletes win the race or wipe out before the finish line. But what separates standout sports stars from the rest? In a paradigm-shifting new theory, acclaimed sportswriter Matt Fitzgerald identifies two key traits behind athletic success: strict self-regulation over thoughts and emotions and an unquenchable psychological need to pursue victory—even when it means enduring extreme mental and physical suffering.

Story
When Ball Four was published in 1970, it created a firestorm. Bouton was called a Judas, a Benedict Arnold and a “social leper” for having violated the “sanctity of the clubhouse.” Baseball commissioner Bowie Kuhn tried to force Bouton to sign a statement saying the book wasn’t true. Ballplayers, most of whom hadn’t read it, denounced the book. It was even banned by a few libraries. Almost everyone else, however, loved Ball Four.

This Elevated my Love for Basketball
I enjoyed listening to this audiobook, which made me love basketball more. I learned a lot about the game, including who the star of the NBA logo is. As an NBA fan, I thought I knew a lot, but not after listening to this audiobook. I love how the author tied basketball to a lesson of resiliency and role models. It was also intelligent to include famous players' daily routines, struggles, superstitions, tragedies on the court, and the WNBA. Basketball has indeed transcended boundaries. I was truly entertained and inspired by these stories. Watching NBA games in the future will have a deeper meaning for me. This audiobook is highly recommended.

for me this was a great bonding experience
Basketball isn’t my favorite sport, but this audiobook completely drew me in with its captivating storytelling. I even listened to parts of it with my son over the thanksgiving holidays, he has recently taken an interest in learning more about basketball and playing with the hoop. It was engaging, informative, and a great bonding experience for us. Highly recommend it for basketball fans and newcomers alike!

Not a Basketball Fan, But Loved the Stories!
Even though I’m not very sporty, In the Game really pulled me in with its stories of resilience and passion. The audiobook is a collection of 24 short stories, each one capturing a slice of basketball history, but what really shines are the personal struggles and victories that go far beyond the court. I found myself completely absorbed, rooting for players I’d never even heard of and feeling moved by their journeys. Each story was quick and engaging, so it was easy to listen to one whenever I needed a little inspiration. There’s something special about hearing how these athletes overcame challenges—it's hard not to feel motivated! This is definitely a must-listen for anyone who loves a good underdog story, sports fan or not.
