About this item
by Marquis Sumpter (Author), Zeeshan Haider (Illustrator)
Jerrel loves sports more than anything in the world-running, jumping, competing, and playing alongside his teammates.
But sometimes, even when he's doing what he loves, Jerrel feels something he doesn't understand... doubt.
He begins to question himself.
"Am I good enough?"
"Can I really do this?"
As Jerrel learns to navigate these feelings, he discovers something powerful-he's not alone.
Every athlete, no matter how strong they look, is facing their own challenges both on and off the field. And true strength isn't about never struggling-it's about continuing to show up, to keep playing, and to keep believing.
Because that's what makes someone a Special Player.
This inspiring and heartfelt story reminds young athletes that their feelings matter, their journey matters, and they are never alone.
