And to top it off, he can't get court time to practice for the basketball team tryouts. Life feels like one big air ball. Then Coach Walton shows up, and he shows Tuck not just how to play but how to handle all the pressures that kids face, both in the game and in life.

Ideal for use with kids by parents, teachers, therapists, guidance counselors, and coaches, this book can be used as a text for small groups, classrooms, and counseling sessions.
