The early lives and storied careers of some of sports biggest names are shared in this series. Readers who love the beautiful game will enjoy learning about two of the most exciting athletes in men's and women's soccer history, David Beckham and Mia Hamm, as well as the greatest player of all time, Pele. Peyton Manning made his mark on football as one of the greatest quarterbacks of all time, winning Super Bowls with the Indianapolis Colts and, after a massive back surgery, the Denver Broncos. Five-time NBA champion Tim Duncan didn't even start his athletic career focused on basketball--he was training to be an Olympic swimmer! With lots of details about their lives before and after their glory years, these well written biographies will give readers a great taste of the lives of some truly epic athletes. VERDICT A smart pick for most libraries.--School Library Journal -- Journal (11/1/2021 12:00:00 AM)
