Chasing the Gridiron Dream Book1 (Knights and Gridiron)

Hiroshi Tanaka, an 11-year-old chess prodigy, is the pride of his small Japanese town. With an unmatched ability to see the board several moves ahead, Hiroshi has won national tournaments and dreams of becoming a grandmaster. However, the solitary nature of chess weighs on him. He begins to crave something more—something dynamic, physical, and collaborative. His life changes when he accidentally watches an American football game on TV and is immediately captivated by its mix of strategy, action, and teamwork. Fascinated, Hiroshi starts obsessively studying football. He draws parallels between chess and the sport, fascinated by how every play feels like a tactical battle. With no local football teams in his town, Hiroshi convinces his school friends to help him form a small club, teaching them the basics he’s learned from videos and books. His leadership, fueled by his chess-honed mind, begins to shine as he creates strategies that allow his team of misfits to beat more experienced players in informal matches. But Hiroshi faces challenges. His parents, proud of his chess achievements, don’t see football as a worthwhile pursuit and worry it could derail his future. Classmates mock his interest in an "American sport," and Hiroshi himself struggles with the physical demands of football, far different from the mental game he’s mastered. The book culminates in a local exhibition game where Hiroshi’s team, with their unconventional strategies and teamwork, face a group of older, more experienced players. Though physically outmatched, Hiroshi uses his chess expertise to outthink their opponents, leading to an exhilarating victory. Inspired by this success, Hiroshi vows to chase his dream of playing professional football, despite the odds stacked against him. This is a 5 series book

Midfield Maestro

Takumi Usui, a naturally gifted yet self-doubting midfielder, has just joined Skyline FC Academy, a world-renowned institution known for producing football legends. Though his passing range and tactical vision set him apart, Takumi struggles to find his place among the country’s brightest young football talents. On his first day, he’s immediately thrown into intense competition, facing the brutal reality of a system that demands not just skill, but heart, mental toughness, and relentless perseverance. In Skyline FC, the bar is set impossibly high. The academy’s legendary coach, Sora, pushes every player to their limits. The players are talented, but Takumi quickly learns that talent alone won’t make him a starter—he has to command the game, control the tempo, and become the midfield general his team needs. But it’s not just the football field that challenges him. Off the pitch, he navigates the complexities of friendships, rivalries, and a blossoming romance with Saki Hoshino, a kind-hearted girl from his school who offers him emotional support even when he feels like giving up. Surrounded by fierce competition from rivals like the hot-headed striker Shinji Tanaka and the cocky midfielder Kai Kuroda, Takumi’s journey is one of personal growth, grit, and relentless training. He will need to master advanced football strategies—like the "Triangle Passing System," "Quick-Tempo Transitions," and "Counter-Pressing"—to rise through the ranks. But it’s not just about winning on the field; it’s about transforming his mindset, overcoming self-doubt, and discovering what it truly means to lead from the heart. From the first whistle to the final goal, Takumi must learn that being a hero doesn’t always mean scoring the winning goal—it’s about creating the opportunities, setting the pace, and most importantly, never giving up. Will Takumi become the midfield maestro he dreams of? Or will he falter in the face of overwhelming odds? The beautiful game isn’t just about skill—it’s about heart.
