In 'The Sub: Level 2 (Goal!)' by Tony Norman, we follow the story of a young soccer player who is usually a substitute, or 'sub', for his team. Despite his passion for the sport and eagerness to participate, he often finds himself on the bench, waiting for a chance to prove himself. The narrative typically revolves around themes of perseverance, teamwork, and self-improvement as the protagonist trains hard, stays positive, and eventually gets an opportunity to shine during a crucial game. When the chance arises, he must overcome his nerves and make the most of the moment, helping his team and proving his abilities both to his teammates and to himself. The book is aimed at young readers with interests in sports and personal growth, and is designed to inspire confidence and the idea that dedication can lead to success, even for those who start off on the sidelines.
