Bookroo's summary
Raisa Kumar, a star pitcher, faces a challenge when tasked with teaching newcomer Annie to pitch. With the team's success on the line and another pitcher injured, Raisa's coaching skills are put to the test. Can she adapt her methods and help Annie shine, or will her rigid approach jeopardize the Tigers' championship dreams? As tensions rise, Raisa must learn the true meaning of teamwork and flexibility. Will she step back for the team's sake, or will her ambitions cloud her judgment?
From the publisher
When the coach of her championship softball team asks Raisa Kumar to teach a new recruit, Annie, how to pitch she is eager to help, especially since she hopes to be a coach herself someday; but when the team’s other pitcher turns up with a broken arm, teaching Annie takes on a new urgency–and Raisa’s efforts at coaching seem to be frustrating Annie rather then helping her.
