The Most Expensive Game in Town by Mark Hyman

The Most Expensive Game in Town by Mark Hyman

A look at how commercialization has transformed youth sports from fun into a heavily commercialized and profitable venture.

Examining the youth sports economy from many sides - the major corporations, the small entrepreneurs, the coaches, the parents, and, of course, the kids - Hyman probes the reasons for rapid changes in what gets bought and sold in this lucrative marketplace. He reveals the effects on kids and profiles the individuals and communities bucking this destructive trend of commercialization.

Mark Hyman has not done it all. But he has done a lot. And he has witnessed a lot. In more than forty years, Mark has worked and traveled around the globe in a variety of capacities. He has performed activities that so many others only talk about.

Mark's incredible life experiences include naval officer, veteran, intelligence officer, weapons inspector, Congressional Fellow, lobbyist, business executive, writer, radio personality, television host, and Emmy award-winning journalist.

Whether it was inspecting Soviet-made weapons systems, reporting from a war zone, walking the halls of Congress, or one of his other life experiences, Mark has gained keen insight into what constitutes a great story that must be told. What sets his storytelling apart from others is he adds context, when appropriate, so the readers not only learn the who, what, when, and where, but also the why.
