Author's Note: This is a piece about how people can be whatever they want to be. If you work hard and have big goals you can be very successful.
Football Champs by Tim Green is an outstanding story of how a 14 year old boy, Troy, posing as a water boy is the defensive coordinator for the Atlanta Falcons. Everything was going good until one day a reporter found out his true identity. The whole team goes on a wild goose chase trying to keep the news reporter from ruining Troy’s reputation. The author teaches readers that you can be whatever you want to be if you work hard.
Troy knows what he wants to do and he just does it. Not only does he help coach the Atlanta Falcons ,but he also plays football for a Junior Football league and his team is going to the state championship game. But the news reporter, Pele, could ruin all of that by exposing Troy. Everyone on the team has to be on top guard to help find Pele before he can ruin Troy’s future. Just like this story another football superstar JJ Watt followed his dreams allowed him to have a first round draft pick with the Houston Texans. He now even has bracelets that say “Dream Big Work Hard”.
Even though those people were really good in football everyone can be good in what they want to do. For example, the people who invented Google had to work really hard to create that amazing search tool. The whole thing started off with two boys and their huge dream. Also, in the book Pele got to be what he wanted to be, he wanted to be a reporter all his life and he finally got the job. Another example is myself when I didn’t make the basketball team in fourth grade. I worked really hard and tried out for the team and made it the next year.
In your life you always need to have big dreams and then work hard to achieve the goal and Tim Green teaches readers how. If everyone in the world can work a little harder and achieve some of their goals we all can be very successful.
