Henry is nervous about trying soccer for the first time. What if he isn't good at it? What if he feels scared or doesn't know what to do?
As Henry steps onto the field for his very first soccer practice, he experiences many big emotions - fear, anxiety, excitement, courage, and bravery - while learning how to try something new. With the support of his coach and teammates, Henry is introduced to the fundamentals of soccer, including dribbling, passing, teamwork, and having fun.
Along the way, Henry makes new friends, builds confidence in his abilities, and discovers that being brave does not mean you are never nervous - it means trying anyway.
Written for children ages 3-7, this encouraging and heartwarming picture book helps young readers navigate social-emotional growth while introducing them to the world of youth sports in an inclusive and approachable way.
Perfect for families, classrooms, therapists, coaches, and educators, this story supports conversations about:
- confidence and self-esteem
- trying new things
- managing fear and anxiety
- friendship and teamwork
- resilience and emotional growth
Created by the co-founders of Inclyousion Sports, this uplifting story celebrates the idea that every child deserves the opportunity to feel included, supported, and proud of themselves in sports and beyond.
