About This Book
Reach for this book when your child is resisting a change in leadership or feels frustrated by a coach who focuses on fundamentals rather than 'the fun stuff.' It is a perfect choice for young athletes who have experienced a shift in team dynamics or are struggling with a perceived loss of status when a new teacher or coach takes over. The story follows Andrea, a talented volleyball player who must navigate her frustration when a new coach moves her to a different position and insists the team return to basic drills. Through Andrea's journey, the book explores themes of teamwork, adaptability, and the value of a solid foundation. At 72 pages, it is an accessible, realistic read for children aged 8 to 12 that validates their feelings of annoyance while modeling how to move forward with a growth mindset.
