• How the major modern sports came about and how they spread throughout the world with the help of enthusiastic individuals, sports organizations, the YMCA and the Olympic movement
• Discussions of some of the most popular modern world sports including: soccer, basketball, baseball, cricket, table tennis, tennis, formula one racing, golf, swimming, skiing, volleyball, track and .eld, boxing, judo and cycling. These are among the most popular, although there are some 300 sports in the world
• The history of both Western and non-Western sports in depth, as well as the increasing globalization of sports today
