SYNOPSIS

Sergio is an exceptional player both at tennis and football. But it’s time to make up his mind: he knows that, if he wants to go far, he’ll have to choose one and give up the other.
Do you think it’s possible, at twelve, to make a decision that will shape your future forever? You might get it wrong – or not. You might achieve things beyond your wildest dreams.
The protagonist is a twelve-year-old boy who has what it takes to become an excellent sportsman. His two passions are football and tennis, and he is equally good at both. But he knows that, if he wants to go far, he won’t be able to combine both for ever. He has to make a choice – a choice that is, no doubt, the toughest of his life.
The work highlights the skills and values that anyone wanting to reach an ambitious goal must cultivate: a healthy lifestyle, self-confidence, commitment, strength, determination and sacrifice, among others. Family plays a central role in the protagonist’s life, and so do friendship and companionship.

Inspired by the figure of Rafa Nadal, the best Spanish tennis player of all times, the novel seeks the reader’s complicity and urges him to cultivate not only a spirit of sportsmanship but also the highest human qualities.
