About this audiobook
John Feinstein's career is a sports fan's dream-a lifetime of encounters with the great figures in sports, not just on the field, but in the locker room and behind the scenes with legends like Bob Knight, Dean Smith, Mike Krzyzewski, Jack Nicklaus, Tiger Woods, and John McEnroe.
Since his days as a young Washington Post journalist, Feinstein has written twenty-eight books and countless magazine articles and newspaper columns, covering college basketball, golf, tennis, baseball, and very nearly every sport in between. He has told us of victory and defeat, of athletes and coaches we love--and love to hate. But some of his best stories have been left untold, until now.
One on One is an incredible portal into the sports we love-from the box scores and the pageantry of game night and into the hard work and intensity that turn players and coaches into legends.

- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Feinstein writes well and he tells good stories. In this book he tells stories about how he wrote some of his books and about some of the people that were instrumental in helping to make many of his books best sellers.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Feinstein can come across as arrogant (which I'm sure he is), but he has certainly walked among the greats of the world of sports. His inside look at those encounters is a delicious read, especially the portion devoted to the irascible Bobby Knight.
