Riley Quinn was built for the pool-until the night it all fell apart.
After a disastrous race shattered his confidence and derailed his future, the rising star of Levi High's swim program has become the athlete no one knows how to reach. Every lap reminds him of the seconds he lost... and the pressure he can't escape.
When a new coach with a mysterious past arrives, Riley is pushed into a training regimen unlike anything he's faced-one that forces him to confront fear, burnout, and the weight of expectation. Across the lane lines, a quiet rival with a familiar kind of damage becomes an unexpected catalyst, challenging Riley to rediscover the part of himself he left behind.
But when an invitation to requalify lands in his hands, Riley realizes his biggest opponent isn't in the next lane-
it's the voice inside telling him he's already failed.
Book Three of The Underdog Circuit delivers a powerful, heart-driven story about pressure, identity, and the second chances we give ourselves. Perfect for readers who love emotional sports fiction, coming-of-age journeys, and character-driven drama with hope at the center.
Fans of Friday Night Lights, Swimming for the Team, and A Short Walk to Water will feel right at home.
