the Legend of Ladder Boy

Every goalie at summer camp has heard the legend. Some say it is true. Some say it is only a story. >The Legend of the Ladder Boy is a heartfelt children's book about adversity, perseverance, hard work, and accountability. When a young hockey goalie moves up to a new level, he quickly discovers that talent alone is not enough. After struggling through a simple agility ladder drill and hearing his teammates laugh and whisper, he faces a choice. He can walk away. Or he can climb. Inspired by a true story, this book teaches young athletes that growth is not always about the obstacle in front of them. Sometimes, it is about the work they do when no one is watching, the choice they make after they fail, and the courage to keep going until they find their way through. Perfect for young hockey players, goalies, athletes, coaches, and parents, The Legend of the Ladder Boy is a powerful reminder that development is in your own hands. Because in the end, it was never really about the ladder. It was about the boy who chose to climb.
