Irony In The Novel

I have progressed into Summer Ball by Mike Lupica reading from page 51-139. Now as im reading futher into this book it is getting very good and is taking some interesting turns. Now Danny Walker is very tough and says he will never quit but his coach at the right way camp is pushing him dearly. By criticing his game, yelling at him for dumb mistakes, and making him run constanly, he is chipping his pride day by day, practice by practice. Danny has talked back to the coach and even has questioned him at certin times, which is out of his personality. He has even talked to coach Powers, telling him that they weren't a good coach-player match and that he should switch teams. Now as i said Danny is usually tough and will go through his problems. But this time by a surprise to me, he is trying to find a way to leave the right way camp and fly back home never to come back. But with not too much sucess he tries to fake a knee injury and make it look more serious than it looked to get back home. But just as this plan is coming up his friend Tess is messaging him saying she isn't far away and wants to see him. So with all of this going on in dannny's life will he stay or leave the right way camp? Will Tess bring him back to happiness and focus him or will he break down and fail?

I'm interested in the book and i"m not even reading the story. very good blog i know i can relate to the coach/player problems Danny's facing and with the girl wanting to see him this changes his emotions greatly. Can't wait to see what he does
