Children's Book Series · Launching this year

A story for every kid who dreams with a ball at their feet.

A new children's book series rooted in Coach Smail's own journey, written to inspire young readers, and the families cheering them on.

What it's about

Believing. Playing. Belonging.

The series follows young players discovering what the game, and the community around it - can teach them about themselves. Warm, honest, and full of the small moments that shape a childhood in sport.

Perfect for reading together at home, in classrooms, and by club libraries. Every book is written to hold up to a hundred re-reads before bedtime.
