Several sports are represented in which players exhibit strange superstitions based on achieving a perfect performance.  In this book, all players are male, both from team and individual sports.  Tennis star Rafael Nadal has a whole routine he follows before and during the game.  A football coach eats grass to “keep himself grounded”.  Hockey players don’t shave until the Stanley Cup playoffs are over.  Baseball’s Wade Boggs ate chicken daily before games.  Basketball coach Jerry Tarkanian chewed a water soaked towel to stay cool.  The layout is pleasing with photos and well-spaced text.  An extra page at the end provides a few additional superstitions.  Packed with trivia, this will be popular with sports fans.  Two other recommended books on sport superstitions are mentioned, as well as a website, index, and note about the author.
