A lesson that sports participants need to learn

Sam McCaskill is about to enter the seventh grade, which is the first year that his school system plays organized football. For years, he has played hard, and he is a very good quarterback. That is the position he believes he is destined for and he will accept nothing else. However, once practice starts he struggles in front of the coach, an accurate passer elsewhere, he suddenly finds himself making mistakes. When the season starts, he is the third string quarterback but a first string cornerback. Disappointed, he takes his frustrations out on the field; his stellar play helps keep his losing team in the games. Sam finally works up enough courage to ask the coach to let him practice again at quarterback. After some initial jitters, Sam settles down and starts playing well. Put in as quarterback in the last game of the season, Sam sparks his team to an upset victory over a powerful team. Disappointment is a part of athletics for all but the most gifted of players. The theme of this story is that when you don't achieve what you want, you must keep trying. Use the opportunities that you have as a steppingstone to move forward to your ultimate goal. That is the message of this book and it is one the majority of young sports participants need to learn.
