In The Warrior: Rafael Nadal and His Kingdom of Clay, Christopher Clarey illuminates the skill and determination it took to accomplish Rafael Nadal’s most mind-blowing achievement: 14 French Open titles. Clarey draws on interviews conducted over many years with Nadal and his team and with rivals like Roger Federer, sharing much wider lessons from Nadal’s approach to competition. S. L. Price’s The American Game: History and Hope in the Country of Lacrosse tells how nearly a millennium ago, Native Americans created lacrosse as a means of training warriors and settling disputes. Co-opted by whites in the late 1800s, and played for a century primarily at elite East Coast colleges, over the past 30 years, lacrosse has exploded around the world. Moderated by Don Van Natta Jr., ESPN senior writer.
