  A Sports Writer to Motivate the Reluctant "Jock" Students

  I should pay more attention to the original article - Epstein actually references that Wallace story.
  
  Davis Miller's two books: "The Zen of Muhammed Ali - and other Obsessions" and "The Tao of Bruce Lee" are both quality reads. The first is a collection of his essays, in particular "My Dinner with Ali" - which is excellent.

  A Sports Writer to Motivate the Reluctant "Jock" Students

  It's not written by a sports writer as such, but David Foster Wallace's article in the NY Times is outstanding prose. A long piece, but well worth the read, and some wonderfully descriptive passages.

  Oddly enough - it's about Roger Federer as well. He is an incredible athlete.
