More Than the Score: Hilarious Lessons from the Field and Court

Synopsis

Hey kids (and parents)! Tired of hearing that sports are only about getting into college? Get ready to laugh your cleats off with this witty guide that proves the real 'win' in youth sports isn't a scholarship, but becoming a fantastic human being. Through laugh-out-loud stories, hilarious anecdotes, and maybe a few well-placed double entendres that fly right over the kids' heads (but land perfectly with Mom and Dad), this book tackles everything from teamwork and bouncing back after a tough loss to the importance of showing up and giving your best, whether you're on the bench or the star player. Forget the pressure of 'making it big' and discover how playing sports is actually training you for life itself, one funny fumble and epic comeback at a time. Packed with relatable moments for both young athletes navigating practices and games, and parents juggling schedules and sideline cheers, this book uses humor to highlight the invaluable life skills learned far away from the scoreboard. It’s a reminder that the lessons learned on the field or court – discipline, resilience, respect, and working with others – are the real trophies you take into adulthood. And for parents, get ready for an ending that’s sure to tug at your heartstrings, emphasizing that the most precious prize isn't a college acceptance letter earned through sports, but the unforgettable time spent watching your child grow, learn, and laugh through the amazing journey of playing the game.
