I really liked the story, I haven't read many books that had central themes around sports, but I really enjoyed reading this. I liked the direction the story was going and the development with the mc is gradual and natural. The transitions from different povs is used well and it helps complement the story as a whole. There were a few grammar mistakes, but that's easy to fix with a quick reskim. The only problem I found was with some of the ways sentences are structured. For example, whenever the MC's father died I seemed like he was just listing things and how they happened, this kind of detracted from the emotional impact of the story. But this is just a small knit pick that can be easily adjusted, keep up the great work author.
