Talent isn’t something you're born with.

Nothing came easy. Not the respect. Not the skill. Not the path forward. Every bit of progress came from the same place—discipline, repetition, and an unshakable hunger to be better than yesterday.

From street corners to national arenas, Born to Ball follows Alex’s journey through brutal practices, high-stakes games, and the lonely hours in between. It’s a story of obsession, sacrifice, and the quiet belief that greatness isn’t a gift—it’s something you make.

For readers who love character-driven sports stories, this novel goes beyond the scoreboard to explore what it really means to chase a dream with everything you’ve got.
