Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - About This Book Every young athlete believes the worst thing that can happen is losing. Then comes the injury, the bench, the long quiet months when the game goes on without them - and they discover the real test was never the scoreboard. 21 Inspiring Comeback Stories follows twenty-one young sportspersons, across twenty-one different sports, who fell hard and found their way back. A cricketer who can't lift his bat. A gymnast afraid of the beam. A swimmer sent back to the shallow end. A surfer learning to paddle again. Each story is short enough to read in one sitting and built to be remembered long after.What makes this collection different is that every fictional journey is anchored by the true story of a real champion who lived it - Sachin Tendulkar, Bethany Hamilton, Lindsey Vonn, Tommy John, Scott Hamilton, and seventeen more. After each story, young readers meet the real athlete, reflect on three 'Think About It' questions, and pick up a short, practical 'Coach's Corner' they can carry onto the field. Written for readers ages 9-18 - and a thoughtful gift from any parent, teacher, or coach - it's a reminder for every child facing a setback that the fall is never the end of the story.…
