I'm Jeffrey Prest, a sportswriter who has worked for publications on both sides of the Atlantic.
Reading the Game is my collection of hubs reviewing sports books old and new.
A sports junkie since puberty, I was mercifully 'let go' by the legal profession in 1995 to pursue a freelance writing career that had seen me cover golf and soccer for English and American titles and American sports for England's Birmingham Post newspaper.
Starting in 1996, I spent two-and-a-half years working for the press office of Britain's Budweiser Basketball League, followed by three years writing the matchday programme and club magazine for one of England's Premier League soccer clubs, Aston Villa.
Since 2001, I have worked for Emap (now Bauer), as features editor for Sea Angler magazine and latterly Trout Fisherman. You'll find my fly fishing blog at Taunted By Waters.
Away from the water, my other great pleasures in life are poker (see my blog Wagering War and poker articles at Associated Content) and golf course design (on which I blog at Cheap Golf's Finest Holes)
