Bookroo's summary

Jim Nardi has the speed and strength to be the Vulcans' top linebacker, but fear of tackles holds him back. With his teammates' disdain and his coach brother's disappointment weighing on him, Jim's confidence falters. Enter Chuckie, a friend with a unique brand of courage. Can Chuckie's influence help Jim overcome his fears and rise to the challenge, or will his dreams of football glory slip away? As Jim grapples with his inner turmoil, the stakes grow higher, and the clock ticks down on his chance to shine.

From the publisher

Jim Nardi could be the Vulcans’ number one linebacker. He’s fast and strong, and he has good hands. But he also has one major problem: He’s afraid of being tackled. His teammates are disgusted with him, and his older brother, the Vulcans’ coach, is disappointed. Then one person steps forward to give Jim the help he needs - but will it be enough?
