Summer is coming up. Here's a list of good young adult books about our sport. Reading is a great way to improve scholastic performance and broaden one's horizons. For teens who don't think about anything but wrestling, maybe these reads will open a door.

Anderson, Glenn, "A Brown Bag Lunch" (my all-time favorite)

Benjamin, E.M.J., "Takedown" [1999]

Conifer, Dave, "Throwback" [2004]

Connely, Neil, "St. Michael's Scales" [2002]

Davis, Terry, "VisionQuest" [198*]

Martino, Alfred, "Pinned" [2005]

Corbin, Craig, "Tiptoes of Expectations" [autobiography]

Wallace, Rich, "Wrestling Sturbridge" [1997]
