About This Book

Judd Billings, a shy high-school boy branded a quitter, struggles with fear and self-consciousness until his older brother, a successful college athlete, brings him to the city for a summer of training and mentorship. Gradually, Judd develops physical skills, discovers a reliable kicking ability, and faces tests of loyalty, pranks, and a tense rivalry that force him into competitive situations. By confronting mental obstacles rather than relying on excuses, he gains confidence, earns a place on teams, and transforms temperament into steadier courage on and off the field.
