In a sunny town in Australia lived a curious boy named Ian. Ian dreamed of being a pro soccer player, but something held him back. It was a creature called the Mind Monster, whispering, 'You can't do it. You will fail.' Ian felt scared and unsure every time he thought about playing soccer. The Mind Monster's voice echoed in his head, making him doubt himself.
One day, Ian's school announced a soccer match. Ian wanted to join, but the Mind Monster's voice said, 'You will embarrass yourself.' Ian hesitated and watched his friends sign up. He felt sad and left out. He wondered if he would ever be brave enough to play.
Days went by, and Ian watched his friends practice. The Mind Monster's voice grew louder, 'You can't do it. You suck.' Ian tried to ignore it but felt more and more scared. He wanted to give up on his dream. His best friend, Sam, noticed Ian's sadness and asked, - What's wrong, Ian? - I don't think I can do it, Ian replied.
Ian almost gave up, but one night, he had a dream. In his dream, he saw himself playing soccer and scoring the winning goal. He felt happy and proud. When he woke up, he thought, 'Maybe I can do it.' Ian decided to talk to his coach. - Coach, I'm scared to play, Ian admitted. - You can do it, Ian. Believe in yourself, his coach encouraged.
Ian decided to practice every day. The Mind Monster's voice still whispered, but Ian tried to ignore it. He practiced hard and gained more confidence. His friends cheered him on. The day of the match arrived. - You can do it, Ian, Sam said. - Thanks, Sam. I'll try my best, Ian replied.
The whistle blew, and the game began. Ian felt nervous but remembered his dream and his coach's words. He stayed away from the ball at first. With 20 seconds left, the score was tied. Ian saw the ball rolling towards him. - Now or never, Ian thought. He ran, kicked the ball, and scored the winning goal! His team cheered, and Ian felt proud and happy.
