Go Maddie Go: A Story About Trying

By Ted Priestly

Go Maddie Go is an inspiring, heart-filled children's book about effort, courage, and the power of never giving up. Maddie is a young athlete with a big dream: to one day play college field hockey. From the moment she picks up her stick, Maddie discovers that getting better doesn't happen overnight - it takes practice, patience, and a whole lot of heart.

Go Maddie Go

As Maddie joins her first team, she quickly realizes that many players are stronger and more skilled. She feels nervous, discouraged, and even embarrassed at times. But instead of quitting, Maddie keeps practicing everywhere she can - in the driveway, the basement, her bedroom carpet - determined to catch up and grow her confidence.

Go Maddie Go

Through challenges, setbacks, and long days of hard work, Maddie continues to chase her dream. And when the big moment finally arrives - college coaches watching, the game on the line - Maddie shows exactly what practice can do. Her story celebrates progress over perfection, effort over ease, and reminds every young reader that dreams grow stronger with every swing, sprint, and bit of heart.
