Ike loved sports and dreamed of being a hero. But today, he felt nervous about the big baseball game. His team, the Little Rockets, was playing their first game in the suburb of Houston. Ike worried he wouldn't hit the ball. " - What if I miss?" Ike asked his mom. " - Just be brave," she replied.
Before the game started, Ike stumbled on his shoelaces and fell. " - Are you okay?" asked his friend Sam. Ike nodded, embarrassed but determined. The coach called Ike to the field, but Ike tripped again. The other players laughed, and Ike's cheeks turned red. " - I can do this," Ike whispered to himself.
As the game began, Ike faced a fast pitcher who threw the ball with a whoosh! Ike missed his first swing, feeling the pressure build. " - It's okay," Sam encouraged from the bench. On his second swing, Ike missed again, and the crowd gasped. Ike's confidence wavered, and his heart sank. " - I can't do it," Ike thought.
Frustrated and scared, Ike sat on the bench, ready to give up. " - I can't hit the ball," he told Sam. " - Maybe I'm not a hero after all." Sam patted Ike's shoulder. " - Don't give up, Ike," Sam said. Ike sighed, feeling defeated and unsure of what to do next. The game felt impossible.
Then, Coach Davis approached Ike with a smile. " - Remember, Ike, courage isn't about not being scared. It's about trying even when you are," he said. Ike thought about his mom's words and his dreams. Suddenly, he felt a surge of determination. " - I can do this," Ike said, standing up with renewed courage.
Back on the field, Ike took a deep breath and gripped his bat. The pitcher threw the fastest ball yet, but Ike swung with all his might. Crack! The ball flew high and far. The crowd cheered as Ike ran around the bases. " - I did it!" Ike shouted joyfully. He realized that courage had made him a hero.
