It's also the pressure of perceived expectations and the desire to win, not only for his dad but also for his teammates and friends and the entire school community—let alone for the girl he has liked for almost the entire school year.Looking within himself, Jacob attempts with the help of Coach Reid, his best friend Liam, and hundreds of unwavering fans to fight through the fears and anxieties that stand in the way of this determined all-star and his teammates attaining their ultimate goal—and in the process Jacob learns some valuable lessons about himself and about the real meaning of the game...win or lose...
