Tom was tired of losing in Rocket League. Every match felt like a disaster. His car missed the ball, and his jumps were always too late. He wanted to get better but did not know where to start. One day, his friend Ben gave him some advice. Practice makes perfect. Spend time in free play and learn the basics. Start with small steps. Tom decided to give it a shot. He spent an hour each day working on hitting the ball. At first, it was hard. The ball seemed to go in random directions no matter how he hit it. But he kept trying. Soon, his shots became more accurate. He could hit the ball toward the goal, even if it was not always perfect. Next, Tom learned to fly. He practiced jumping and boosting in the air. It felt strange at first, like learning to walk all over again. He missed the ball over and over, but he laughed instead of giving up. After a few weeks, Tom played a match with Ben. This time, things were different. He made saves, hit clean shots, and even scored. His team won. You're improving fast! Ben said. Tom smiled. He knew he still had a long way to go, but now he believed in himself. Rocket League was fun again.
