Dr. Nick Pappas - Author of - The Dark Side of Sports:

Elite-level athletes are placed upon heightened pedestals in
societies world-wide. At the same time, there is a dark side to
these glorified competitors that remains hidden from those outside
of exclusive athletic circles. Dr. Nick Pappas' athletic background
in collegiate and professional sports has provided insider access,
enabling him to uncover an array of disturbing sexually deviant and
aggressive behaviors, which have silently thrived for decades in
many athlete cultures. These findings, expressed through the
athletes' own words, are the result of more than 10 years of
cutting-edge research involving in-depth interviews with 142
collegiate, minor, and major league athletes from five prominent
U.S. sports. Written in an engaging style, The Dark Side of Sports
is a must read with messages not only for athletes, coaches,
managers, and administrators, but also for parents, women,
students, and sports enthusiasts. While these important discoveries
are certain to shock, raise awareness, and provide a wake-up call
for those in and outside of the sports world, they also promote a
sense of urgency for taking action to prevent and address these
harmful behaviors.
