Reach for this book when your child is talented in a specific hobby or sport but becomes their own worst enemy when they lose their temper or feel targeted by peers. It is a perfect tool for children who struggle with emotional regulation during high-stakes moments. The story follows Miles Tip Harris, a star basketball player whose hot head makes him a target for opponents who know just how to rattle him. Through Tip's journey, the book explores the vital connection between mental discipline and physical performance. Parents will find it particularly useful for opening a non-confrontational dialogue about how anger can cloud judgment and the importance of staying focused on the goal rather than the grievance. It is a fast-paced, accessible read that validates the intensity of competitive feelings while modeling a path toward self-control.
