Synopsis

Game On! is a fun, practical, and confidence-boosting guide for children who love sport – and for the parents and coaches who want to help them thrive.   Blending storytelling with science in a way that is easy for young readers to understand, the book follows Jake, a sporty kid who often gets stuck in his own head. Before every match, two tiny characters appear on his shoulder – Coach Brain (the voice of doubt and overthinking) and Player Brain (the voice of instinct, confidence, and play). Through football matches, mistakes, wins, nerves, and big moments, Jake learns how to choose the voice that helps him perform at his best.   Along the way, children discover simple, powerful tools to handle pressure, build confidence, and enjoy their sport more, including:   • how to stop overthinking • how to trust their body’s muscle memory • how to stay calm under pressure • how to turn nerves into confidence • how to learn from mistakes • how to play in “the flow” • how to use body language and breathing to feel braver   Each chapter ends with a short “Mini Challenge” for children to try in real life, plus a Parent’s Section explaining the psychology behind the lesson in clear, reassuring language.   Written by solicitor and dad Steven Mather, inspired by his own son’s journey through competitive tennis, Game On! gives children the mindset skills that every young athlete needs – in sport and in life. It teaches resilience without pressure, confidence without arrogance, and the truth that real champions aren’t perfect… they just keep learning, trying, and enjoying the game.   Perfect for ages 7 to 12, and for any child who wants to feel calmer, stronger, and more confident in sport.
