    John Albert Torres, John A Torres

    Library Binding (Enslow Pub Inc, Jan. 15, 2018)
    Gym can seem like a drag to many teens who'd rather be doing something else, but it's a great excuse to get up and moving in the middle of the day. Gym class is less about fierce competition and measuring everyone by the same fitness standards. Instead, it's all about developing confidence and competence in sports, and, yes, having fun. Of course, there are still locker rooms, stinky gym clothes, and other kids with their own issues to deal with. This guide will help teens navigate all the difficult moments, like being picked last for a team or fielding snarky comments about lack of coordination or skills. This book provides indispensable advice to help readers arrive prepared with the right gear and the right attitude.
