Synopsis

John Feinstein's illuminating recollections from two decades of interviews with sports legends.

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.

As I've gotten older, I really enjoy watching sports, mostly college, well mostly BYU since it is my alma mater. I had never heard of this author/sports writer/sports commentator, John Feinstein, before and after reading this book, sounds like I live under a rock. This guy knows everyone and anyone......more

Goodreads review by Mike on April 15, 2012

John Feinstein is the greatest author/columnist in sports, just ask him. His ego aside, he does know how to write an interesting book. The first four hundred pages revolve around the first ten books he wrote and the stories behind them. He spends a lot of time on the book that made him, "A Season on......more

Goodreads review by Tom on April 02, 2025

A good book by John Feinstein, but you should only read if you're a big fan of the legendary sports writer of great books such as Season on the Brink, A Civil War, A Good Walk Spoiled and The Punch. This book is basically Feinstein's look back at his first 10 books (so...no talking about the Punch s......more
