In Great Expectations, sociological analysis proves to be a powerful ally for grasping how the sports world unfolds for team players, providing a range of sociological ideas and concepts that extend throughout the book. The tables and class discussion sections help summarize key issues, linking important sociological concepts to the topics at hand. The eight chapters, begin with an introduction and then detail athletes' activities at different stages in their development.
