Champion did not possess the confidence to do what he loved - gymnastics! He thought he was too slow to master the flips and springs it takes to be a good gymnast. He was frightened to even try when others watched him practice. In this tale about patience, building confidence, and focusing on his own improvement, Champion learns to overcome his doubts by listening to every instruction delivered by his coach. A story inspired by challenges so many young athletes face, the authors designed this book to help parents, teachers, and youth coaches talk to young children about fear and anxiety over competitive athletics. The book includes common core aligned questions that teachers can utilize with student.
