I love sports!

The GOAT is the ultimate goal but it seems the younger kids are faster and stronger but are they? I found this audiobook that breaks down the best sports stars of yesterday and the rising stars of today. The information is very subjective and easy to follow. I found myself looking at the clock at 2 am and was surprised that I listened to the whole thing in one sitting. I loved it,

Great book

I recently listened to the audiobook "Icons of Sports Legends Versus Rising Stars" and absolutely loved it! I am an absolute sports nut, and it was so cool to hear the book contract legendary athletes with today’s rising stars. Of course this is forever the sports fiends favorite topic! The storytelling was engaging and packed with motivational life lessons about hard work, perseverance, and teamwork. I think this is perfect for both young listeners and adults like me.

I enjoyed sharing this experience with my husband, who walked in one day while I was listening to the book while I cleaned the house. It sparked several fun debates about our favorite athletes. The trivia questions added an interactive touch, and the narration kept me hooked from start to finish. Overall, I highly recommend this book to anyone who loves sports, or who just wants to start learning!

A Perfect Blend of Old and New Sports Heroes

This audiobook was such a fun listen with my son. I'm a sports nerd and love hearing stories about former athletes and the current ones I watch today.

I'm passing that love down to my son and want to teach him about past athletes as well. So this audiobook that compared the greats I grew up watching with the new talent making waves today was the perfect blend. Hearing the stories about legendary athletes alongside rising start gave my son a fresh perspective on the evolution of sports. It even sparked some fun debates with my son, who's all about the new generation of athletes.

If you love sports, this audiobook is a must listen!

Fun and educational

This was a wonderful quick Audible that I found to be both fun and educational. This book is designed for young people, but as a woman with limited knowledge of the sports world, I enjoyed it for myself and my own knowledge expansion.
