In Sports Crazy: How Sports Are Sabotaging American Schools (University Press of Mississippi), Steven J. Overman exposes the excesses of middle and high school sports and the detrimental effects the obsession with sports has on American education. Our reviewer Marie Larneby has a keen interest in student-athlete issues, and she read Overman’s book with great interest and found his analyses relevant way beyond the American systems of school and sports.
