About this listen

#1 Amazon Bestseller!

A young sports journalist soon learns the toughest hits occur off the field. Fresh out of journalism school, Blake Kirk lands her dream job as a reporter for her hometown pro football team—the job sure to propel her to the sidelines on network television. But from the first day, double standards and old-school entitlement smack her with the intensity of a defensive line.

Critic Reviews

"Sideline Confidential provides a fascinating, insightful look at what it's like to be behind the scenes covering a pro football team. Brooke Bentley, a seasoned journalist who experienced the excitement and exasperation of covering a team, draws vivid portraits of the characters who make up a pro franchise. Bentley takes readers on a wild, behind-the-scenes ride from the beginning of training camp through a see-saw regular season that's both frustrating and inspiring. I can't wait for her next book featuring Blake Kirk."

John McClain, Retired Houston Chronicle writer, past president of the Pro Football Writers of America, Pro Football Hall of Fame award winner, and Texas Sports Hall of Fame media inductee

"Sideline Confidential is more than a page-turner. It’s a jaw-dropper. Brooke Bentley perfectly captures not just what really goes on behind the scenes in pro sports, but what makes it doubly challenging for women."

John Lopez, cohost of “In The Loop” on SportsRadio 610, coauthor of the Kerri Strug autobiography Landing on My Feet, and former sports columnist at the Houston Chronicle

“Intriguing and relatable from the start! Sideline Confidential authentically portrays the discrimination, bias, and obstacles faced by female reporters. This novel is a must-read for anyone who loves football and enjoys a riveting tale with all the excitement of a game day!”

Allison Williams, national sports broadcaster and sideline reporter
