About the book
Dante may dazzle the crowd with flair and jokes, but when pressure rises on and off the pitch, he must learn that true confidence comes from being real, not just entertaining. Each chapter doubles as a kids chapter book about courage and friendship, making it a natural fit for classrooms, club libraries, and bedtime match analysis. Two spotlight pros anchor the journey—one current player living the dream today and one hero from parents' generation whose story mirrors the same highs and lows.
What readers will learn
- Who you are matters more than the show you put on
- Playing with joy is powerful, but playing with purpose is even stronger
- Wealth can make life easier, but it can’t solve what you feel inside.
Plus: compare a current pro hero with a classic legend from your parents' era.
