Part of the Team Dungy series
Will Austin choose fairness over victory when his team cheats to win a game?
Austin's flag football team, the Trentwood Tigers, is on a losing streak. Desperate for a win, a teammate suggests a trick play that leads to victory through cheating. Torn between triumph and integrity, Austin faces a tough decision. With guidance from Coaches Tony and Lauren, he must decide whether to continue down a dishonest path or stand up for fair play. As the next game approaches, Austin's choice will define his character. Will he prioritize winning or doing what's right? What would you do in his place?
Fair Play Is Always the Right Way
Austin loves playing flag football for the Trentwood Tigers. There is only one problem. His team has lost six games in a row, and he doesn’t like losing. At his next game, Austin’s teammate has a plan to trick the other team. It works, but Austin knows his team cheated to win.
Coach Tony and Coach Lauren remind Austin the most important thing about football isn’t winning–it’s playing fair. When his team takes the field for their next game, will Austin choose to cheat again, or will he stand up for what’s right? What would you do if you were in Austin’s shoes?
