I'll admit, I am not a football fan and I wouldn't have even had a clue who Dhani Jones was if I wasn't a fan of the travel channel. Although I never watched his show, I now find myself wishing I had, because I want to learn more about these sports he participated in and learned about while traveling around the world.

The book is easy to read, and often presented in a conversational tone. Jones discusses how his travels and experiences in the many sports improved his conditioning for football. In some ways it read as a means justifying his travels, and at times was a bit condescending, but this is something I have felt about other autobiographical texts.

Overall this was an interesting read for both football lovers and travel lovers.
