I hope I pronounce that correctly. He's a youth soccer coach who co wrote Fail Points with his daughter, which is pretty cool. Fail points is a sports book that introduces kids to an interesting and new perspective when dealing with failure. The story follows Zen a young ambitious girl on her journey to master a new soccer move. She navigates the ups and downs of learning a new skill. The story encourages young readers to accept failure as a way of leveling up their potential, which is a positive take and a negative thing that I never really considered. I wasn't sure what to expect from Fail Points since I'm not a big fan of sports in general, but it surprised me in a good way. Of all sports, soccer is the only one I've played and enjoyed in my youth. I especially like how the acquitted failure to leveling up in a video game, that's more my cup of tea since I'm a big gamer. It was also nice to see them see failure in various aspects and other people around her, not just sports. It's a cute story with a twist message about failure not being a bad thing. Failure is necessary to learn and grow and when you gain enough fail points you level up and reach your goals. That is a very awesome message. The visuals are nicely drawn. The style is simple with just enough detail to keep your eyes entertained and in pace with the story. The artwork was done by Julia Ostunovich. I'm sorry if I mispronounced that. Julia did a good job of capturing the energy of Zen and her journey from failure to victory. I highly recommend Fail Points.
