Jake knows he's going to be awesome at soccer. He'll be super-fast and much too tricky for all the other players. He'll fire the ball at the goal like a cannon, but what if soccer isn't as easy as Jake thinks? His dribbling looks like bad passing and his passing looks like Bad Dribbling. The ball just won't do what he wants. Will Jake ever have a great game?
