Libro: Oscar and The Silent Sideline (Oscar The Footballer)

Oscar and the Silent Sideline
Book 2 in the Oscar the Footballer Series
Oscar thought missing a penalty was the hardest challenge he would ever face.
After learning the power of resilience in Oscar and the Brave Boots, he found the courage to put his boots back on and return to the pitch.
But football has a funny way of presenting new challenges.
Now Oscar is playing in his very first friendly match.
The sidelines are packed with parents.
The noise is everywhere.
Every touch feels important.
And every mistake feels impossible to hide.
As his confidence begins to wobble, Oscar finds himself listening to the crowd instead of trusting himself. But with the help of Mum, a simple signal from the touchline and a small piece of tape wrapped around his wrist, Oscar discovers a secret used by athletes around the world:
You can't always control the noise around you.
But you can learn to control the voice inside your own head.
Join Oscar in this heartwarming second adventure as he learns how to stay calm under pressure, block out distractions and focus on what really matters—enjoying the game he loves.
