Sometimes, Even Parents Have to Grow Up . . . Saul Bryson is your Average American sports dad (or at least he thinks he is). Overly obsessed and slyly cynical, he expects his son-to-be to excel in everything athletic. But when the game of life throws Saul a humorous curveball, he's soon faced with tweaking his Master Athletic Plan to allow for-GASP-the female gender. Because the final score in the Bryson family is: Daughters - 2, Sons - Zero! Undaunted, he forges ahead into the world of youth sports, battling the forces that stand in every dad's path to glory: daughters that would rather play Barbie than practice, an overprotective mom that doesn't want her girls getting hurt, boys with devious intentions, and a slew of sports dads with their own vicarious dreams for their kids' success. Through every sport, tryout and season, the Brysons experience triumphs and tribulations with Saul doing his best to ensure the girls taste the ecstasy of winning, not the agony of losing. Until one climactic season presents Saul with his greatest challenge, a challenge he must face not as an obsessed sports dad, but as an actual father. For every parent that's had a child in youth sports, for every teen that's had a parent with crazy athletic aspirations, and for anyone that's played the great game of volleyball, Days of Whine and Volleyball is a funny and heartwarming family saga ringing true to the exciting sport it portrays, true to the young adult club sport culture and, ultimately, true to life.
