“Jones is wonderfully adept at fleshing out and making real the challenges and struggles of professional athletics… (he) paints a startling and believable picture of a part of pro sports that most fans neither see nor even imagine. Jones is a strong and clear writer with a fluid style.”
— Kirkus Reviews —

“Jones has erected the perfect platform to truly understand the deep psychological elements and the impact of childhood, trauma, societal pressure, career, and expectations in the world of the elite.”
