"Always aim for something, you can achieve, because then you've got the motive force to work hard for it and manage it!"

-an experience, I always carry on with...

When I get to know, how the father handles with his son, I was shocked but I think, you can also find reactions like this one's in the real life. Maybe not in a way, a coach hurts someone, but it's frequently difficult for a coach to get along with their ambition and will of reaching good results at sports. And sometimes, that's very difficult to realise because only the learner feels bad about how the coach handles with him.
A coach always want his pupil to be good and successful but sometimes this will can destroy the work of a pupil and his coach.

I must say, I was a bit disappointed about what the story promised to me. This first chapter starts with a squash game, which Jamie plays against his rival Danny. Jamie's loosing the game and you already get to know, that the whole relationship, Jamie has got to his father and his rival, will play a big role at the following. When I red all these terms about how to play squash, I thought, I would have to study a direction about all these sport acts.
Finally, you expert more about the father's character because he belt into his son's face, again and again and just because he hasn't accomplish what he father wanted to do him.
I was very shocked about his father's attitude and I never thought about a reaction like that. So this was very horrible to read and to know how the father handels with his son.
