Klappentext

Caleb loves soccer, and he is determined to make the U15 provincial team. But when a sprained ankle puts him out of commission for six weeks, Caleb unexpectedly struggles with anxiety about getting back on the field.

He tries to tell himself that a twisted ankle is no big deal, but his racing thoughts about potential re-injury won't quit, and his confidence wanes when a teammate earns his starting position. With playoffs just weeks away, Caleb takes the advice of his physiotherapist and decides to try yoga. And it helps. But there's no way Caleb could tell his teammates. What would they think? When it's time to hit the field again, with scouts in the crowd, Caleb must overcome the pressure and use what he's learned to prove himself and help his entire team.
