Описание
Growing up, Ivan Paul was a troublemaker. At heart he was a good kid, but growing up in several dysfunctional family situations, there wasn't much to keep Ivan on track. That is, until Mr. Gunion, the baseball coach, came into Ivan's life, providing the words of encouragement Ivan needed to hear. He left Ivan's life just as swiftly as he had entered it, but his quiet trust and the wisdom of his words left a lasting impression. With this newfound outlook and positive attitude, Ivan set out to make his life better. In everything he did from that point on, he reminded himself that while you can't change what life hands you, you can change your attitude and your response. The psychological solace found in sports carried Ivan through many difficult moments; moments that no child should ever have to go through--but so many others, like Ivan, live with abusive or neglectful families, who may not have a trusted authority figure that they can turn to for the guidance they lack at home.
