Description
On the football field, Ezekiel and Joel have the same problem. Neither is having any fun. The stress of constantly trying to play perfectly and please his coach makes Ezekiel want to quit. Joel is so scared of messing up, he worries more about being yelled at than catching the ball. As the self-doubt and peer pressure build, each boy offers a solution to help the other. Will the plans they come up with be successful and help them reclaim the confidence and fun they've lost? This is the first title in award-winning author Bryan Smith's new Kids Can Do It, Too series for students in grades 1-6.
