HTML:<p><b>Winner of the PEN/ESPN Award for Literary Sportswriting</b><br /> <b>Winner of the Award for Excellence in the Coverage of Youth Sports</b><br /> <br /> Eight years of unfettered access and a keen sense of a story's deepest truths allow Pulitzer Prize--winning journalist George Dohrmann to take readers inside the machine that produces America's basketball stars. <i>Play Their Hearts Out</i> reveals a cutthroat world where boys as young as eight or nine are subjected to a dizzying torrent of scrutiny and exploitation. At the book's heart are the personal stories of two compelling figures: Joe Keller, an ambitious coach with a master plan to find and promote "the next LeBron," and Demetrius Walker, a fatherless latchkey kid who falls under Keller's sway and struggles to live up to unrealistic expectations. Complete with a new "where-are-they-now" Epilogue by the author, this thoroughly compelling narrative exposes the gritty reality that lies beneath so many dreams of fame and glory.<br /> <br /> <b>NAMED ONE OF THE BEST SPORTS BOOKS OF THE YEAR BY THE <i>LOS ANGELES TIMES</i></b></p> <ul> <li><b><i>THE CHRISTIAN SCIENCE MONITOR</i></b></li> <li><b><i>KIRKUS REVIEWS</i></b><br /> <br /> <b>Look for the exclusive conversation between George Dohrmann and bestselling author Seth Davis in the back of the book.</b></li> </ul>.
