Meet Sal! He loves watching soccer on TV, but when he sees a poster for real tryouts, his dream feels like a huge goal!
The only problem? Playing soccer is much harder than it looks on TV. When his first few kicks go in the wrong direction, Sal feels discouraged and ready to give up.
Luckily, his neighbor Carlos, a middle school soccer star, steps in to teach Sal the basics. With one week until tryouts, Sal must learn that practice isn't always easy, but never giving up is the key to success.
Join Sal on his journey as he:
Learns proper kicking technique from a friendly mentor.
Overcomes frustration with encouragement from his mom.
Practices until he's tired, sweaty, and finally improving!
Sal's Soccer Dream is an inspiring picture book that teaches children about perseverance, growth mindset, and the value of hard work. It's the perfect read for any young athlete or dreamer who needs a little encouragement to chase a big goal!
