• 1．4 Unbeatable Sport Memoirs The stories of athletes can be very inspiring.Here then are some of the best stories from them.
      The Fight by Norman Mailer
      Mailer's description of the build-up and action of the Ali vs Foreman match in Kinshasa，Zaire on October 30，1974，is very fine.
      The Fight exceeds boxing in its description of the almost imaginary Ali，with all his courage，strength and wisdom，in one of the greatest sporting events of the last century.
      Open by Andre Agassi
      The double-meaning title of Andre Agassi's stories suggests that his book will be more interesting than most.Agassi makes clear his dislike of tennis，his father and the tiring difficulties of the professional game.
      Few books better suggest the stress of top-level sport，and the mental strength needed to overcome it.Open is quite detailed and is told in the vivid present tense.
      Full Time by Tony Cascarino
      The one book that really focuses on the inner life of the football player is Full Time by Tony Cascarino.
      Of course，we all have self-doubt，but in Cascarino's stories，it's like an elephant on his back，weighing him down.Fill Time，more than any，suggests he never gives up，seeking to advance his career.
      Second Wind by Jimmy White
      White's second story is following his roots in Balham and Tooting in South London，as"a kid thirsty for excitement and action"to his time at the top of the snooker（斯諾克臺(tái)球） game in the1980s.
      The book isn't elegantly written，but the rough-and-ready style shows White's colourful character.
