John Feinstein Biography

John Feinstein is the author of over 35 books, with "A Season on the Brink" and "A Good Walk Spoiled" being among the best-selling sports books of all time, both reaching No. 1 on the New York Times Best Seller List. "A Season On The Brink" extensively covers Coach Bob Knight's 1985-86 season with the Indiana Hoosiers men's basketball team and spent sixteen weeks atop the NYT Best Seller List. His exploration of professional golf in "A Good Walk Spoiled," follows athletes like Tom Watson and Greg Norman on the PGA Tour, revealing the intense pressures of competing at the highest level.

In addition to these works, Feinstein has penned fifteen teen mysteries, the first of which, "Last Shot," received the Edgar Allan Poe Award and reached No. 3 on the NYT Best Seller List. His book "The Legends Club" delves into the rivalries and personal dynamics among basketball coaching legends Mike Krzyzewski, Dean Smith, and Jim Valvano.

Beyond his prolific writing career, Feinstein contributes to The Washington Post, Golf Digest, and The Golf Channel, among other prominent publications and networks. He also hosts a show on CBS Sports Radio and provides commentary for Sirius XM and Comcast SportsNet. Recognized for his significant contributions to sports journalism, Feinstein has been inducted into various halls of fame, including The Naismith Basketball Hall of Fame and The National Sportswriters and Sportscasters Hall of Fame.

Feinstein's commitment to philanthropy is evident in his co-founding of The Bruce Edwards Foundation with golfer Tom Watson, aimed at raising funds for ALS research, having successfully raised over $5 million USD. He holds the honorary title of Admiral of the Chesapeake Bay, reflecting his dedicated service to the community.
