Bookroo's summary

Lisa Gaddy, a determined soccer fullback, struggles with her throw-ins due to her small stature. Her coach devises a clever plan to transform this weakness into the team's secret weapon. Can Lisa rise to the challenge and prove that size doesn't matter on the field? Discover how a unique strategy might just change the game for Lisa and her team.

From the publisher

The only thing holding Lisa Gaddy back as a starting fullback is her throw-in from the sideline. She is too small and it doesn’t go very far. The coach has an idea to turn Lisa’s throw-in into the team’s secret weapon and her lack of height will no longer be a problem.
