Omschrijving
Examining two realms of sports and autobiography, this work looks at recurring patterns found in athletes' accounts of their lives and sporting experiences, examining language, metaphor, rhetorical strategies, and other elements to analyze sports from the inside out. It shows that the meaning of sports is intertwined with the telling.
