Never Give Up : Inspiring Soccer Stories for Boys and Girls to Build Confidence, Find Courage, and Chase Big Dreams Ages 7 to 12
Overview
Your young player let one in, and now the confidence has gone quiet.
Every kid who loves soccer knows the feeling: the missed save, the tryout nerves, the long ride home after a loss. These stories show kids like them falling, getting back up, and learning that brave is built.
Meet a few of the Riverside Rockets:
- The Goalie Bounces Back. "The ball was in the net before Sam Bell even knew he had guessed wrong."
- Finding Her Voice. "Ava Reed stood half-behind Mia at the edge of the field and pulled her sleeves down over her hands."
- The Power of Yet. "Ben Carter dropped the ball onto his foot, flicked it up, and watched it fall to the grass with a sad little bounce."
Every story ends with a win bigger than the score. The new kid finds a team, the goalie bounces back, and "I can't" turns into "I did it."
- Real kid heroes. Boys and girls your child will recognize, not distant superstars.
- Short, exciting chapters. Built for readers ages 7 to 12, including the reluctant ones.
- Full-page illustrations. Warm black and white artwork brings every field moment to life.
- Think It Through pages. New words and talk-about-it questions after every story.
For parents, grandparents and coaches, this is the easy way into a real talk about nerves, losing well and trying again, with no lecture. It is screen-free reading kids actually pick up.
Add it to your cart today and give your young athlete the courage to keep playing.
A perfect gift for birthdays, Christmas stockings, end of season team parties and any soccer loving kid who needs a little extra courage.
