For any potential high school athlete who thought he or she wasn't good enough, athletic enough, or big enough, "The Day It Matters" will inspire him or her to realize that with hard work, and the determination to give it their best--every day, especially on the day it matters, even the impossible can become possible.

The story, "The Day It Matters," is based on a true story about a young boy who dreams about being a baseball player for his local high school team. As time goes by for "tiny" Tom Atherton, and after a lesson that he learns about the politics of sports, he quickly realizes that fate may have other things in store for him.

With the helpful advice of several family friends, a lot of great coaching from a mentor who will be a constant presence and influence in Tom's life, he will pave the road of his own personal destiny that will shape him and others who follow him...especially on the day it matters.
