With so many problems, Tuck is having a hard time feeling confident and dealing with his upsets. Then Walton shows up.

Soon Tuck is feeling in control of his life and focusing his energy on what he loves most…basketball!Using a positive, interactive approach, this book includes informative study guides, exercises to develop confidence and relaxation skills, and self-quizzes, all designed to help kids learn to coach themselves through everyday worry and stress.
