Jake, once a soccer champion, now faces defeat with the worst team. As his sportsmanship is tested, he must decide whether to quit or find new ways to lead.

Discover the journey of resilience and unexpected friendship in this gripping tale of sportsmanship and personal growth.

From the publisher

From the #1 New York Times bestselling author if Heat and Travel Team! What happens when a star player ends up on the worst team? He either learns to lose or he stops playing the game he loves. These are the choices facing Jake, who has gone from champion to last place, testing his sportsmanship every time his soccer team gets waxed. But it’s his teammate Kevin who shows Jake that being a good captain means scoring and assisting off the field as much as being the star player on it.
