Eddie's story is a testament to the power of believing in oneself and never giving up from "summary" of Million Dollar Shot, The (new cover) by Dan Gutman
Eddie Ball is just an ordinary kid. He's not the best at basketball, or schoolwork, or anything really. But there's one thing he does have - a seemingly impossible dream. Eddie wants to win a million dollars by sinking a half-court shot during the halftime of an NBA game. Everyone laughs at him, but Eddie doesn't care. He believes in himself, even when no one else does. His journey is filled with setbacks and challenges. He practices every day, rain or shine, even when it seems like he's getting nowhere. People tell him to give up, that he's wasting his time. But Eddie refuses to listen. He knows that with hard work and determination, anything is possible. As the day of the big contest approaches, Eddie's nerves start to get the best of him. Doubt creeps in, and he begins to wonder if he's been foolish all along. But then he remembers all the hours he's put in, all the sacrifices he's made. He knows that he can't give up now. When the moment finally arrives, Eddie steps onto the court with confidence. He takes a deep breath, focuses all his energy, and lets the ball fly. And then, against all odds, it happens. The ball sails through the air, hits nothing but net, and the crowd goes wild. Eddie's story is a reminder that no dream is too big, no goal is too far-fetched. All it takes is belief in oneself and the courage to never give up. Through hard work and perseverance, anything is possible. And Eddie Ball proves that sometimes, the biggest victories come to those who refuse to back down.
