متن يادداشت

From the Publisher: Despite some enormous differences in pay among professional athletes, most aspects of their daily lives remain surprisingly constant across sports and income levels. Living out of Bounds provides answers to persistent questions about what it's really like to be an athlete and discusses the filtered image of the athlete that emerges through books and other media. Overman mines a wide array of sports biographies, autobiographies, memoirs, and diaries to construct a representative picture of the athlete's life from the rise of American sport in the late 19th century to the present day. In doing so, he reveals the person behind the sports celebrity, as he exists on a daily basis. Individual chapters cover such topics as college athletics, the pressure of celebrity, the difficulty of balancing sports and everyday life, sex and sexuality, race in sports the obsession with the body, and the difficulties associated with retiring. In the course of the work, a portrait emerges that transcends the individual lives. The shared experiences of devoted training, of travel and hotels, and of tension within and beyond the clubhouse or gym, force use to appreciate the often-oppressive reality of the sporting life, at the same time that the individual lives provide us with a glimpse of the rewards that make sports so compelling to audiences and athletes across America.
