When Nick’s first day of practice doesn’t go as planned, he soon realizes football is much harder than he ever expected. Will Nick give up on his dream of being a football star, or will he learn that a little hard work, patience, and a good attitude pays off in the end?

"It is a cute way to tell a story about never giving up"
"Arlee is prone to saying "I can't do it" & simply not trying. I have tried to encourage him with referencing this book to help him to try!"
"A well written book that encourages a keep trying attitude. My precocious almost 4 year old loved it."
"I bought this book to help my children really learn the persistence it takes to continue on and not quit when they were upset about playing baseball this season. What I and my children loved about this book is it really takes you through the feelings of wanting to quit and not being good at a sport at first but pushing through anyway! Couldn’t recommend this book enough!"
"Great book! Well-illustrated and good story content. You can always trust Brave to produce good, God driven, shows good morals and values. It's a must have for your Brave collection"
"A wholesome message filled with fun illustrations, real world challenges, and a message that easily resonates with a young kid! Easily one of our heavy rotations within the Brave Books family!"
"My boys love this book. As I was reading it, I constantly made them repeat "focus on working hard, have a good attitude, and have fun. " Such good values! Brave Books are timeless."
"The girls loved this book. They put it down after initially reading it. Then a couple days later, picked it up again and wanted to read it again second tome. Very good book."
"very good book. children need to learn not to give up just because things get hard. even if you fail at least you tried. find something else to try. we aren't all good at the same thing."
"Our family loves the Brave Books. Our 6 year old starts every story time, “welcome to Freedom Island, home of the brave!” 🥰📚🏅🇺🇸"
