Adam Nicholas Clark
The Sports Superstar
For our Superstar, from
Mom and Dad
Always do your best!
Adam Nicholas Clark, age 7, lived in Medford, Wisconsin. He liked to play different kinds of sports and dreamed about becoming a professional player.
Cole, Chad, and Josh thought Adam was a great athlete.
One day Adam saw a television commercial for a new sporting goods store.
The next day, Adam went to the store. He walked over to a pile of baseball bats. He tried to hold the bat just like the professional player in the poster.
Adam closed his eyes. Suddenly, he was actually playing in the World Series!
The baseball stadium was packed like sardines. The crowd was doing the wave and flying colorful banners in the air.
The bases were loaded. The team depended on Adam to score the winning run.
He held the bat tight as the mean-looking pitcher threw a curve ball. Adam swung and hit the ball.
The ball flew up, up, up in the air! It kept on going all the way out of the ballpark!
"Holy cow, It's a grand slam!" the announcer yelled.
Adam thought, "Gee whiz, Cole, Chad, and Josh would be proud of me!" Adam dropped the bat to run the bases and...
Adam was back in the sporting goods store. He was a little confused, so he walked across the aisle to a display of basketballs. He began to dribble a basketball.
In an instant, Adam was playing in the finals.
The basketball stands were jammed with people. Cole, Chad, and Josh sat at center court chanting, "Sink it! Sink it!"
Adam looked at the scoreboard. There were only seconds left in the game.
Adam dribbled across the court, then quickly slam dunked the ball. It zoomed straight through the basket!
The cheerleaders sang, "Hooray! Hooray for Adam !"
The team lifted Adam on their shoulders. When they put him down, he was once again at the sporting goods store.
Adam picked up a football and began to watch the Super Bowl on a big screen TV.
Suddenly, he was the quarterback on the field.
There were two seconds left in the game and his team was five points behind.
Three enormous lineman from the other team were heading straight for Adam.
Adam managed to spin out of the tackle and avoid a sack. He ran twenty yards, forty yards, then fifty! Touchdown!
Adam was so happy he threw the football in the air, and did a little victory dance. Adam was given a beautiful trophy and named the MVP of the year.
Suddenly, Adam realized the store was closing.
On the way to the exit Adam passed a display of trophies and thought, "If I practice really hard, my dreams of becoming a professional athlete really could come true.
I can't wait to tell Cole, Chad, and Josh about my wonderful sports adventure.
