This series hones in on specifics beyond the basics, such as how to slide in baseball or how to shoot three-pointers in basketball. Each book includes advice from professional coaches and athletes. Attractive photographs are placed next to the skills that are described in the narrative. However, that uniformity of photographs gives the books a rigid block-and-text appearance. Still, the books will encourage beginners to try one of these new tips or techniques.-- Series Made Simple; School Library Journal Top 10 Sports Series. Much of the appeal of this series is in how it details specific actions young players can take to fine-tune their skills. Each title offers advice, in both words and photos, regarding how to do, say, a ladder sprint in basketball or effectively stop a soccer goal.-- Booklist
